Bottle shared during RBESG. Pours brown with a creamy beige head. The nose has chocolate, earth, soft rubber notes. Medium sweet flavor with dark fruits, burnt marshmallows, some further chocolate. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Light burnt malt finish, big on the cocoa, with sturdy roast, bittersweet chocolate and earth. Not bad.

Bottle - Lots of Whisky and barrel notes. Murky dark brown with a decent beige head. Sweet malts with the barrel and Whisky dominating, too a little heat in the back of your throat. Very heavy with Whisky, but nice.

Bottle. Appearance is pretty much pitch black, no light escaping. No head despite a vigorous pour- just some foam around the edge. Aroma- chocolate, some choclate fuge, coffee, roasty malt, some vanilla, spicey hints. Taste- roasted malt, espresso, dark chocolate, bitter finish, a bit of vanilla but not that much, and a little thin in the mouthfeel. Pretty good overall though.

Keg, as Canterbury Nitro Stout. Appearance is almost black, opaque, one finger creamy white head, looks really good. Aroma of dry roast, dark fruit, malts. Smooth in the mouth, roasted malt taste, short finish. Ok stout, doesn’t taste as good as it looks.

Cask, 5.8%. Appearance is very dark, ruby tinge, a half-finger beige head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, liquorice and port notes. Taste- lots of dark fruits, especially blackcurrant, port hints, bitter hops and coffee, cocoa powder. Pretty good.

Cask. Appearance is mostly amber with ruby tinges. A foamy half-finger head. Fresh, floral, hoppy aroma. A large amount of bitter hops in the taste, fruity hints, lasting finish, clinging in the mouth. Pretty good.
