Mediumt sweet flavor, strong character, deep coffee and some burnt sugar, burnt malts. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Mild warm finish, subtle booze, pleasant roasted malts and mocha. Solid beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Cornubia (funnily enough), Bristol 12/05/2011. Arbor has brewed this house ale rather than merely rebadging one of its existing beers. Amber coloured with a tight white head. Citrus hop aroma with a touch of sweet maltiness and some orange. Flavour had plenty more orange fruit, biscuity malts and a dryish finish. Very quaffable.

On gravity at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 29/04/2011. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head. Hoppy, citrus fruit aroma with a touch of sweetness. Flavour of biscuit malts, more orange fruit and a touch of caramel, leading to a dry finish. Enjoyable.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2011. Black beer with lasting tan head. Roasted malt and liquorice on aroma. A very tasty roasty mild with some oilyness. Really rather lovely beer. A modern dark mild. Decent enough. Thick and full in mouth. Very tasty

Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks 16.04.11 Pale lemon, in fact more strawlike in colour with a white bubbly head. Really furry bitterness in the mouth, some sweet maltiness, but this is soon zapped back by the brisk assertive hoppiness of the Summit hops. Nice, very nice. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 6/04/2011. Pale gold in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of grapefruit and tangerines, with a floral edge and some sweetish malts. Flavour had plenty more citrus fruit, some slightly creamy malts and long, dry finish. Excellent.

Half, cask hand pulled at CASK Pub and Kitchen. Dark as the devil. Black naked surface. Aroma of coffee malts, slightly roasted. Cocoa, coffee grounds and earthy malts in a mid-sweet taste profile. Beneath it all there is also a touch of blackcurrant. Gets sweeter towards the ending. Hidden alcohol. Rather well balanced and medium to full bodied. A bit heavy to drink, but still a very good drink (London, 22.03.2011).

Yes coffee and choc and oatmeal. Really good except for the liquorice finish which I dont like. Coffee is lively though. So impressed

My 800th rated English beer
Opaque dark brown color, small brown head. Strong aroma of coffee beans and cold coffee. Light to medium bodied. Tastes like cold coffee. Some sweetier malts in the background. It is all coffee stout. Works ok.
