330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour late awakening and simultaneously diminishing, eventually small, frothy, minimally lacing, tan head. Chocolately dark malty aroma that can’t deny its grainy origin, some coffee and caramel, all with grainy residues, some husk. Taste is slightly bitter and roasty dark malty, hints of coffee surrogate, dark chocolate, some hay; soft carbonation, fluffy palate.

330ml bottle. Deep dark red glowing, quasi black colour with average, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, ochre-ish tan head. Chocolately dark malty aroma, notes of roast, dark chocolate. Taste is roasty dark malty, notes of dark chocolate; slightly monotonous and one-dimensional. Full body, super-soft, silky palate. Great stuff.

Gravity cask at the Rake - Borough Market, London. Pours clear amber with a modest, frothy white head. The nose has dried fruits, day-old bread and light wood. Medium sweet flavor with restrained leafy bitterness, dried and lightly leathery fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish with more leathery berries, dry and bitter wood, faint bitter leaves and berry skins. Not bad. Fairly dynamic.

330ml bottle from Provenance Wines, shared with Ashton McCobb. Cheers Ash! Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Aromas are quite light, but liquorice first, then earthy and dark chocolate comes through as it warms up. Taste brings some coffee, more chocolate. Nice creamy texture. Decent.
