Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear amber with a small, creamy white foam. Some tangy rye, earth and light pine in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor, some dirt, grains, tabgy rye, burnt toast. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty strong bitterness to finish, some grass, toasty rye, dirty earth, some ripe orange. Not bad.

50cl bottle. Pours opaque black with a fawn cream head which reduces to a thin layer of lace. The nose has dark chocolate going into a hint of cherry liqueur - no nuts though. The taste is extremely chocolatey, just a hint of nuts in the background, then a long charcoal note towards the end. The palate is medium to full bodied with a rich creamy texture and a long creamy persistent finish. Overall, a big rich, persistent beer though not as many layers of flavour.

Cask, half at The Halfway House. Patchy beige head, fragile lace, copper coloured body. Smell of citric hops. Blend of fresh and ripe fruits in flavour. Dry hopped ending. Medium bodied. Felt a little bland in the mouth (Edinburgh, 14.04.2012).

Medium sweet flavor with lots of dark and rich coffee, dark chocolate, ash, earth. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Medium sweet finish with some semi-dry, true coffee, mocha, moderate roast. A solid coffee beer. Very true coffee character.

Bottle from Royal Mile Whiskies, at London at Leighton’s Beer, Bocce and Boozer tasting. It pours very dark brown, with a thick light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, strong coffee, touch of lactose, chocolate, dark fruit (blackcurrant?) and toasted coconut. The taste is roasted malt, lots of rich-roast coffee, burnt malt, grainy, milk chocolate and toasted coconut, with a dry-roasted finish. Well hidden alcohol. Medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Well balanced and full of flavour. Delicious.

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear, amber-gold with a fine, white foam head. Quite a bit of urine in the nose, some manure. Medium to big sweet flavor, old urine, overripe citrus, orange, some toasted then wet grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lots of urine and very ripe orange, along with some other fruits and wet pine. Interesting. Not bad.

Air pressure cask at Euston Tap. copper amber colour slight haze thin cream head. Yep definite smoke aroma. Smoked and got enough malt backbone to carry it. Quite a tough smoke. But it works here. Even some fishy smokiness. Really good. In fact i liked it hugely. Good smoke
