Cask at GBBF 2011. It pours opaque black, with a thin bubbly tan head. The nose is treacle, molasses, polish, liquorice, sesame seed, soy sauce and parma violets. The taste is roasted malt, dark cherry, rich-roast coffee, wood, soy sauce, sesame seed, liquorice and smoke, with a rich roasted finish. Fully body, sticky mouth-feel and low carbonation. A very flavoursome British imperial stout.

Cask at GBBF 2011. A black coloured pour with virtually no head to speak of. Nice roasty, coffee, chocolate aroma. Tastes sweet, malty, hints of both chocolate and coffee, slight bitterness. Bloody good rich tasting stout, I want more of this!

Cask @ Royal Oak, Twerton. Dark brown. Cask head. Sort of charred fruit stuff on the nose. Malty, light chocolate with hints of nuts. Only a hint of the strength. Nice brew, maybe with roasted bitterness in the finish.
