Cask at the Coach & Horses in Norwich shortly after visiting the Cathedral in the city centre. Not quite black as there's still a glow evident, with a small off-white head. It's very light roasted giving it a fine mild styling in both aroma and taste.

Cask pulled half at the King's Head, Norwich. Nice atmospheric venue in an equally nice atmospheric city centre for this black coloured brew with a thin head. A sweet stout, with this certainly subduing its roasted elements.

7/2/2025. Cask at the 15th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Pours close to black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is chocolate, fruity, caramel, orange, hedgerow, berries. Medium sweetness, light roasted malt. Moderate body, oily, soft carbonation. Fruity finish. Enjoyable.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of tropical fruits, grass and malt. Bitter, slightly metallic finish. Did not really follow through.

Cask at Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Aroma is malty with a hint of spice. Clear light brown. Translucent white bubbly head soon recedes. Medium bitter sour tinged Underlying malty sweetness then flows through. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry finish. Pleasent if unexciting.

Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily, average carbonation. Nice roasted finish. Well done, and the most enjoyable I've had from this brewery.
