BD Clap J. Coffee stour aroma. Dark brown in the extreme. Thin beige head. Sweet. Cloyingly so. Light bodied. The coffee comes through. There are spices and creamyness. I told the barmaid I wasn’t keen, she told me it was complex. A sweet stout pretending to be something else.

On tap @ BrewDog, Soho. This one has a deep and dark almost bronze colored body, not far from brown. No head to talk about. It has a nice and interesting aroma. A little burnt, definitely woody. Traces of tar and something "wild". It tastes somewhat thin, almost a little watery - as is the mouthfeel. A little papery, darker types of malts and a little coffee darkness. Softly burnt in the back. Smooths out after a while in the glass. Didn't mind this at all, just it lacks a little body though. 23.10.2016

T42 tasting on me Birfaday. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Mild fruity bourbon on the snout. Soft dark malts, just a trace of dark chocolate. Tangy fruity bourbon. Spice. Mild licorice. Soft semi dry finish. Fruity bourbon linger. Good enough, wouldn’t describe the barrelling as subtle though - and that’s not a criticism.

Keg at BD Camden, 24/10/16. Rich mahogany brown with a decent khaki cap. Nose is coffee grinds, charr, spice, cocoa powder, toffee. Taste comprises lighter coffee notes, chocolate, black pepper, earthy dark fruit splat. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid for style but expected a little more from the coffee which fell away a little in the taste.
