(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2010) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and cocoa. Malty, roasted taste with black coffee, cocoa and dark chocolate. Rather light body, dry, with a generous coffee bitterness. Possibly a bit thin, but nice and well made stout.

14th July 2010. Market Porter. Clear gold beer. No real head. Light dry palate. Tangy dry orange hop but a bit of sulphur in there as well. Finishes very dry. Dissapointing.
