Cask gravity at Pembury Tavern BF March 2007. Black beer with thin beige head. Coffee-ish aroma, grainy. Nice intensity, especially the chocolate. Bit of hot alcohol. Pretty good stout. Malt is ok, maybe a bit of vanilla too. Bit of whiskyish malt maybe?

Cask gravity at Pembury Tavern BF March 2007. Gold/copper colour, no head. Bit of mineral in the mouth. Some decent sherberty hop. Itโs ok, but I expected it to be hoppier from the description. Duff is right the hop is resiny but understated.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern March BF 2007. Copper colour with lasting thick beige head. Malty, but well balanced hop which helps. I like it. Simple, but balanced and drinkable.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern March BF 2007. Gold colour with bubbly white head. Diacetyl, toffee, butter aroma. OK in mouth, but whole thing is spoilt by diacetyl. Bit earthy hop on end.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Black with tan head. This barrel came on on 20th January. Intense roasted malt aroma, charcoal. The most light and agile imperial stout type beer Iโve had. Great intensity. Very tasty. Very dark bitter choc like Green and Blacks dark choc, intense bitter dark choc. Bit of velvet. Very intense balanced smooth dry wonderful. One of my favourite British beers.

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Amber colour with bubbly beige head. Some hop, bit of staleness, but is soon fades (was actually towards end of barrel, went off soon afterwards). Whisky malt in mouth, similar in flavour to the Sparta, nice tangerine. Good strong bitter, dryish finish. Another well made beer from Milton

Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern, Hackney. Black colour with lasting tan head. Subtle roasty/toasty aroma. Quite chewy in mouth, some sourness, liquorice. Quite a harsh stout. Very interesting though. Nice but not my stout of choice.
