Cask @ Borough, Lancaster. A very thick textured stout that is black with a creamy head. Has a big roasted coffee aroma that is certainly evident in its taste, but less so.

500ml bottle from Cheese & Wine shop Darlington. Clear golden amber colour, white head leaving some lacing and tropical fruit peachy aroma. Malty caramel smooth bitterness with fruity grassy hop and biscuity notes, through to a dry hoppy grapefruit bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle - A bog standard look to this, black, thin tan head, nothing special. The nose is good, liquorice, toast, coffee, chocolate all the old favourites in a stout. Most of them are there in the taste, but it is a bit on the thin side, albeit smooth, Nice enough, but I’ve had so many better than this.
