Can from Tick Beer. Black pour with small fizzy beige head, minimal retention. Classic meaty stout aroma with plenty of roast, beef stock, coffee, dark chocolate, some berry tang and sweetness to balance. Tangy and bitter through the flavour with roast, powdered chocolate and a touch of berry. Again, balanced by a decent sweetness and not as stocky as expected although arguably a bit too simple in taste. Still tasty which is the main thing.

Bottled by lowcostbeer. Only my second imperial brown ale. Pours a dark brown-reddish colour, thin beige head which receded quickly. Inviting aroma of malts, nuts, chocolate, caramel; suggests some depth but not over rich. Taste has plenty of the malt, chocolate and caramel lusciousness, a touch of tangy fruitiness, golden syrup, light bitter roast and herbal note. Full bodied, a bit syrupy on the mouthfeel.

(Cask at Harp, Charing Cross, London, 18 May 2023) Amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty, hoppy nose with caramel, nuts, citrus and floral hops. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of caramel, nuts, citrus, orange peel and a balanced citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced bitter. Nice one.
