Warning! Early amateur rating! Strong tasting stout, a littl bit smoky. Very bitter. A bare half imagined trace of Port! Okay - but a bit too bitter.

Cask at the Wharf. It’s a black one, topped by a diminishing thin layer of beige bubbles. Roasted to burnt nose with some chocolate and coffee. A hint of alcohol too, nothing boozy, more like in a strong wine. Flavorwise it’s quite mellow and rounded, blending roasted, burnt malts and hints of dark chocolate with dried fruits and a touch of something stronger than your average beer. Slightly metallic in the very end, a bit unpleasant actually. Medium body, almost without carbonation. Except for the metallic finish and lack of carbonation, this is a pleasant one. Tasteful and complex, and it goes well as a winter beer. 101216

Cask at the Wharf. A clear, copper beer with a quite pretty beige head. The aroma is really pleasant, with some roasted coffee-like malts, toffee, prunes and blue plums and a touch of citrusy, fruity hops. Full-bodied and smooth on the palate, finishing with a pleasant fruity bitterness. There’s toffee, roasted notes and fruityness initially. A pleasant and easy drinking beer, tasteful and well suited for the season. 101216
