Cask@GBBF 2009. Dark, almost opaque brown color, small steady tan head. Black coffee and licorice in the nose. Lots of black coffee, licorice and dark malts. Very enjoyable with long lingering roastyness in the aftertaste. Dry and balanced. (8/4/8/4/16 4.0)

Dark brown color, small beige head. Chocolaty, caramelly aroma. Medium-bodied. Coffee, chocolate, light toasted bitterness in the finish. Clean - maybe too clean, uninspiring. (7/4/6/2/11 3.0)

Cask@GBBF2009. Pitch black colour, not much head. Aroma is sweet liquorice, alcohol, nuts, old coffee and also some toasted notes. Flavour is much the same along with raisins and plum. Flavour is also quite alcoholic burning in the finish.

Cask@GBBF. Opaque black color, not much head. Toasted aroma, some coffee, also milk chocolaty notes. Full-bodied. Lots of vanilla, milk chocolate but also a bit tart, alcoholic notes. Long vanilla aftertaste. Sticky mouthfeel. A bit similar to DFH WWS, but not so complex and strong.

Cask at GBBF 05-08-09 Pours black with no head, there may have been a head when Craig (thanks for saving me this mate) originally got it but it had long since dissappeared. Distinct oakiness and vanilla on the nose, in fact tha barrel ageing is quite noticeable. Feels substantial in the mouth but not too boozy, some bitterness. Oil slicks coat the glass, liqourice and dark sugars are starting to show. Very good stuff. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov15 3.8

A nice reddish amber ale with a thin creamy moka head. A wonderfully pleasant dark fruits in aroma, molasses, treacle and maderized porto, enticing and intense. In mouth, an interesting mix of dark candy cane extract, sour molasses, and raisins. Challenging in a good way. Rich and warming. On tap at brewpub, July 1, 2009
