On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol 30/6/2012. Opaque and near black in colour, with a slight, off-white head. Big, bitter chocolate and dark fruit aroma with a pleasant, roasted edge. Flavour had more chocolate, some black coffee and a dry finish with a slight lactose tang. Excellent.

Cask at CBC during my birthday, London. Pours dark brown with a fine tan head. Light roast in the nose, some dark bread and dark candy. Light to medium sweet flavor with dark roast, burnt toast, dark sugar, very faint burnt caramel. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild roast in the finish with a slight lacto sweetness, some cocoa and burnt sugar. Nice beer.

Cask at the Craft Beer Co, London on 31st March 2012. Rich roasty aroma. Liquid is medium thick bodied with coffee, lemongrasss, smoky touches and chicory. These notes all sit well with one another. Slight asltiness. Aftertaste has many of these attributes with a bitter note in addition. Saline mouthfeel - unusual for a stout but enjoyable anyway. 7/4/8/5/18 _________________________________________________________ Re-rating February 2016: Cask at the Hillsborough Hotel, Sheffield on 19th February 2016. Black-sepia with pale tan shallow lacing foam. Fine roast malt aroma. Rich and intense roasted malt in-mouth with touches of smoke and nuttiness. Nutty, bitter finish. Fair-bodied with a full engaging texture. Exquisite.

Half pint: gravity poured at a beerfest in The George Inn, Eccleshall (April 2012). Dark brown, almost black in fact: cream head in colour and texture, looked fine. Smell was all burnt and toasted/roasted malts; without any sweetness. We are talking black coffee and bitter dark chocolate here. These aromas carry on into the taste, a rich blend of dry maltiness hits your tongue. Good beer to finish the night on: sadly I had another two pubs to visit, one of which was also having a beerfest.

Cask at CPK, Pimlico, London on 9th March 2012. Hazy amber with short-lived non-lacing offwhite foam. Malty, sweet light aroma. Grassy hoppiness and some background floral fruitiness in-mouth; late bitter kick leading to a dryish finish with peach and berry notes. Light, smooth and velvety texture.
