19th July 2021; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, five of us splitting 16 different beers, t'was a good night! Thanks Simon for the 500ml bottle of this: BB 31st Dec 2021. Beige topping on a black body, Stouty looking in fact. It was fine, but surrounded by some pretty impressive beers this didn't reach their heights and seem almost bland and uninteresting, which I'm sure it isn't on a normal day. Malty, carrying some light coffee and chocolate traces in both the nose and taste.

19th July 2021; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, five of us splitting 16 different beers, t'was a good night! Thanks Simon for the 500ml bottle conditioned offering; BB 31st Dec 2021. Decent enough blend, but as it was surrounded by some big hitters it seemed a bit 'tame'. Amber bodied, white head, malt forward with a mini hop bitterness.

500ml bottle @ Free-Dumb tasting, Chez Sophie, July 21. Amber appearance, small foamy head. Quite a light, airy Amber. Not much on flavour, very light malt body.. not a lot going on.

500ml bottle @ Free-Dumb tasting, Chez Sophie, July 21. Thanks Simon for this. Pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma presents light roast, malt. Moderately roasty to taste, seems a little thin-bodied, dry finish. Not silky, rich or hearty and not really hitting the high notes for a bottled stout, but fine overall.

Cask at Flowerpot, Derby. Pours almost black with a scummy beige head and good lacing. It has a smoky aroma with traces of coffee and vanilla too. Bitter coffee and liquorice are the main flavours in the mouth, but there are also roasted malts and a distinct yeasty Marmite taste as well. Finish has dark fruits just to confuse the issue. Overall rather nice if a bit unusual.

Gravity cask atvthe Moonface Brewery & Tap, Loughborough. Dark brown, almost black with a very loose beige head. Smoky aroma, notes of gravy, bitter dark chocolate and some charcoal. Taste a savoury, lots of yeast extract and meaty flavours. Light notes of plum in the finish. Light body, carbonation soft to nil. I've been on the fence with other Lenton Lane beers but this is amazing.

Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton Pours almost jet black with a small beige head. The aroma was definitely chocolatey, but my nose wasn’t working correctly (got a cold) – so there may have been more. In the mouth, the initial taste is mints and chocolate, but strangely this then turns into dark fruits. Finish is also fruity, with raspberries featuring. A bit strange all told.
