Cask-conditioned at the White Lion, Bristol 1/03/10. Jet black with a light, off-white head. As other shave said, this was hard to categorise: there was a slightly creamy edge to everything, balanced by a touch of roastiness, with chocolate, coffee and a trace of sourness lurking in the background. Unusual.

Bottled@The Chriso Gaylord Tasting. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity and floral hops along with bready and caramelly malts. Flavour is quite much the same ending in a rather bittery dry grassy and floral way.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Black, lasting thin beige head. Some roasted malt and liquorice on flavour. It’s an ok roasted dark ale, not really a stout nor a porter. Dryish finish. Fine. Good condition.
