Cask at GBBF 2009. Black, dark brown edges, thin lasting dark beige head. Good choc aroma, very dry bitter dark choc in mouth. Quite fruity in swallow, some raison and dark cherry, bit of ginger. Good/solid.

At GBBF 2009. Too strong. Lots of intense roasted malt, quite harsh in the mouth, bit stinging. Settles down into a decent impy stout, but still a bit harsh on the alcohol.

Cask at GBBF. Black with a tiny tan head. Chocolate and caramel aroma with strong bourbon. Sweet caramel flavour with big bourbon and oak. But overall, too sweet.

GABF2009 - holy hell! - this beer is huge in more ways than one - loads of sour cherry, fruit skin tannins, and light earthy funk in the nose, with a light touch of oak and acidity - date, raisin, sour cherry and other dark, heavy fruits in the flavor - warming, but not overpowering alcohol - some earthy wildflower honey qualities through the middle - red wine and oak characteristics cut the sweetness - this is some serious stuff.

Gravity cask, one-third pint from the USA bar, GBBF 09. Black as pitch, possible a bit cloudy. Bubbly low beige head. Sweet smell of lacteal malts and hoppy fruits. Comprehensive flavour of dark caramel, slightly roasted, nicely followed by a good amount dark fruits. Sophisticated porter, very pleasing (Earls Court, 06.08.2009).
