Cask at the Rake. It pours jet black with a small tan head. The nose is rich roast, charcoal, cocoa, cola coffee and treacle. The taste is bitter, rich roast, coffee, citrus peel, earth, treacle, charred wood, molasses, burnt brown sugar, with a lingering dry-bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty damn bitter, which almost pushes it into the bipa territory. Rather tasty stuff.

Bottle from Ales By Mail [200814]
Black, dense frothy tan head, some lacing
Aroma of mellow roast, dark malts, touch of savoury malts, dab of dark chocolate
Taste of dark malts, dark chocolate, coffee, mellow roast, slight savoury malts, soft bitter roast, smooth dark malts, really good
Palate - soft carb, light to medium body, smooth texture, chocolate dark malts coat the tongue, bit thin though. Finish of soft roast, dark chocolate, some lingering dark fruity chocolate
Overall - Good stout, think this would be even better on cask

Craft Tottenham Court Road. Keg. Hazy pale gold beer with a distinct green tint. Palate is light, dry and crisp. Light sourness. Touch of something cucumber like! Mild lemon and lime, little seltzer. Light finish brings more orangey citrus.

Gift from the brewers @ RBESG visit to the brewery / Grand Tasting. I was specificaly told it was for enjoying, not rating. So of course I obliged. Took the bottle for a night with friends at the beach watching aurora borealis, a rare sight in The Netherlands. The light was faint, but the company great, and the beer more than enjoyable. Thanks!

On tap at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden on 23rd August 2014. Translucent with neither head nor lace in the tulip glass into which it was dispensed. Sour lemon, slight soapiness and yeasts in aroma. Tangy grapefruit, lemon and lime blend in-mouth and finish which died rather sooner than wished for. Zingy mouthfeel and light body. A refresher and a quencher; little else though.
