Cask at the Bricklayers Arms Derby Beer Fest. It pours darkest brown, with a thin bubbly beige film. The nose is liquorice allsorts, soy sauce, toasted sesame seed, leather and charcoal. The taste is full of liquorice, charcoal, roasted mal, sour tang, burnt malt, salt and dark dried fruit. Thin to medium body and soft carbonation. A bit too thin and too much liquorice for me.

Cask at GBBF 2010. A pitch black beer with a tan head. The aroma has strong roasted notes combined with medium hoppy notes. The flavor is sweet malty with extremely storng notes of liquorice - too much for me, combined with some roasted malt, leading to a dry, roasted, woody, and liquorice finish.
