Cask at the Falcon, CLJ, 11/04/14. Light black meets extremely dark mahogany brown with a moderate light tan covering. Nose is roast malt, grain, earthy cocoa, liqourice. Taste comprises toffee, dark fruits, touch papery, light roast. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying finale. So so stout, lacks any real depth or flavour, but drinkable none the less.

Cask @ Bank, Manchester. Nicholson’s Beer Festival. Very dark but not quite black, with a small creamy off-white head. Has a fairly sweet aroma, much like a porter, although its body and taste, despite being fairly weak are obviously stout in design.

Bottle from Sainsburys, Watford. Poured a very light, hazy golden colour with a scummy white head. Aroma was very sweet and slightly synthetic with notes of banoffee pie, marshmallow and vanilla. Fruit Salad sweets on the initial taste with cornbread and a light peppery hop character. Finish was light with some grass, soft fruit and brown sugar. Fairly boring.

500ml Bottle: BBD 28 Nov 14, poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 7 Jan 14. Lively pour, plenty of carbonation bubbles rise through the clear amber body to help replenish the smooth white foam head. The nose is a mixture of spicy hops with a citrus twist, as is the initial taste. As the beer warms a little it becomes a bit more complex and the malts that were hidden start to assert themselves: the bread/biscuit notes however subside again towards the end of each sip when the hops take over once more. Refreshing and interesting play on an American IPA (not as hoppy as most US IPA’s I have to say).
