Cask at Alexandra, Derby – as Silver Brewhouse Coal Face Stout. Pours almost black with minimal off-white head. Roast malts in the aroma, and they carry through into the mouth where they are joined by liquorice and alcoholic strength. Finish is quite fruity. Not bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Cornubia, Bristol April 2022. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Leafy hop character, some strawberries and tangerines, slightly earthy malts with a touch of caramel flavour leading to a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Dark brown and translucent with a thin and slightly ethereal beige/khaki head. Chocolate malt and a good bit of black liquorice in the aroma. Taste is sweet with liquorice the dominant taste. Some well-rounded hop bitterness in the finish with foraged berry and plum character. A touch mire liquorice in the aftertaste. Body on the light side, almost no carbonation. Not bad.
