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.

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