Cask at the Ipswich Beer Festival 2004, gravity dispense. Black colour (no surprise). Aroma of raisins, cigarbox and coffee. Surprisingly fruity flavour for a stout (=surprising if I hadn’t read the IBF programme), dark fruits on a background of espresso coffee and dusty roasted malts. Interesting beer!

Transparently black. Interesting aroma of coffee and licorice. Dry, but an insufficient body gives a slight metallic note. Fairly low bitterness.
