13/3/2024. Draught at Saint Monday Taproom & Brewery, London Fields. Pours black with a small lasting creamy/frothy beige head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, liquorice, coffee, vanilla, caramel, hint of marshmallow. Medium sweetness and roasted bitterness. Full bodied, smooth, low carbonation. Very good straight up stout.

Draught keg at the brewery tap. Dark, almost black, with a ring of beige head. Big malty aroma, lots of treacle, black sesame, caramel. Taste is sweet, and I mean sweet. I love seeet beers but this is almost too much for me. Long sweet finish. Oily body with light carbonation. Intense but the sugary nature might put some people off a bit.

Keg at Red Hand, Dalston. Aroma is quite bitter - dark chocolate, coffee, a hint of tobacco. Want to be opaque but too dark for that. Creamy tan head. Initial bitter coffee and dark chocolate hit. Followed by a slight sweet luscious chocolate streak and molasses. Underlying berries gradually gain prominence. Thick. Oily with a chalky element. Long astringent finish. Big Baltic. Wonder how trad the brewing process was.

Keg at Red Hand, Dalston. Aroma is sweet and citrusy. Malts. Clear light gold. Thick foamy white head. Combines medium resin bitterness with a citrusy streak that alongside a malty core takes the edge off. Develops spice. Light. Thin. Soft carbonation provides a pillow. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable, - a tad different.
