Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 25th April 2026. Deep sepia brown with shallow pale tan foam and spot lacing. Earthy roastiness in aroma. Richly roasty in-mouth, and a finish of coffee and dark chocolate. A velvet smooth mouthfeel and a somewhat lighter body than expected for a stout of 5%, more like a porter. Drunk as such, I found it pleasant and rate as such.
