(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 22 Nov 2025) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasty nose with notes of chocolate, milky coffee, dark bread and dried fruit. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, dark bread and a mild roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Smooth, rich and well balanced stout. Very nice.

Has a nice fruity character about it, some jammy berries, soft earthy bitterness, lightly toasted malts. A little one-dimensional but rather moreish.

Dark brown, opaque, with a small beige head. Aromas of coffee and chocolate, roastiness, and light ash. Medium body, dry, low carbonation. Roast, coffee, and dark chocolate, along with a refreshing acidity. Some herbal notes in the bitterness. Solid, but not compelling.
