9th Oct 2019; hand-pulled pint in The William Withering, my local Wetherspoon's in Wellington Shropshire. Black bodied, tanned foaming top, lasting with lacing. Chocolate nose and initial taste, some coffee esters and flavours arrive as it warms; overall a roasted malty goodness prevails throughout this easy drinking Stout.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep brown wtb orange slithers around the edge. Neat off white head. Nose - burnt toffee and honeycomb. Taste - toffee, cherry and marzipan. A wee touch of liquorice on the very end. Palate - medium bodied at least. Rich but lightly tangy texture. Overall - it grew on me a lot.

Nearly opaque very dark beer with a decent beige head. Light scent of fruity, toasted malt. Taste follows suit, with the balance nicely done between the sweetness of the fruit and nice, toasty malt. A bit of liquorice too. Not massively complex and suffers from a slightly watery aftertaste / feel but otherwise it's a fairly straightforward beer done pretty well.

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Layton Rakes (JDW) in Blackpool. A ruby glint to a near black body. Beige head, upper part glass-lacing. Moderate smell of earthy malts, hints of dried fruits. Mid-sweet dark malty flavours, caramel and dried fruits. Smooth malt-driven end. Half way pleasing. (07.022019).
