Cask at GBBF 2006. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted coffee, a nice expresso roasted, combined with light notes of chocolate. THe flavor is sweet with strong notes of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt, towards the end a slight acidity from the coffee mixes in with bitterness from the roasted malt. Nice body for a 5% ABV beer.
Bottled. A pitch black beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of chocolate, and so is the flavor, but here mixed with light acidic notes from the hard roasted malt. [7/5/6/3/12]

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours completely black and opaque with a nice, beige head. Very burned aroma. Medium body with accents of burned malt and then some odd saline and acidic accents. Starts promising but ends rather unfortunate. Something is not quite right here. 040307

Bottle. Amber beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is slightly smoked and roasted and the flavour is very, very bitter and toffee with a malty and maybe vinous quality. Overall a reasonable beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a small, rough, off-white head. Rustic, slightly vinous and sherry-like aroma. Medium-bodied, vaguely tart with a hint of wood and smoke. Rather complex and interesting in both aromas and flavours. 120207

(Bottle, thanks to Marsiblursi) Sampled at a tasting night at Marsiblursi’s place. Smoke and mezcal scent, also cigarette smoke. Some grainy whisky smell as well. Dark brown to black color, brown head. Taste is of smoked sausage and coffee beans. Smooth mouthfeel, medium high bitterness. Dry aftertaste.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Black beer with lasting dark beige head. Sour funky aroma. Spice, quite a lot of spice. Odd in mouth, bit sour, nice dark date flavour. Just so bizarre. Just a weird beer, some maple syrup. Odd and to be honest I couldn’t finish it. Bit hazelnutty too. Another idiosynchratic beer from Alcazar.

Bottle, 6.0%. The aroma has a little cardboard. Almost black colour. The flavour starts off OK, but turns a little sour. Has a good roasted aftertaste, but the sourness ruins it for me.

Bottle picked up at SH Jones, Bicester, Oxon, 02-12-06. This beer poured a very dark amber colour and had a very fruity (dried fruits) aroma. Intriguing taste including dried fruits, coffee, liqorice, simpy stunning range of flavours, I really, enjoyed this excellent beer.

Cask @ Never walk alone, Kolding. Amber/golden color with a small white head. The American hops gives it a nice hoppy aroma. Very well rounded and good balance. Pale ale with fruity malt and a sherberty finish.
