Cask at Swan and Railway, Wigan. Pours almost black with a small foamy beige head. The aroma has roasted malts and liquorice plus a hint of coffee. In the mouth it is quite bitter but with a little underlying sweetness. Favour has roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. Later on liquorice and peaty smoke comes though as well. Finish is slightly bitter. This is a decent stout with plenty of flavour.

From cask at Port Street Beer House, Manchester, 29.03.25. Served with a sparkler. Almost ebony. Creamy and persistent beige head and lacing. Fine aroma and taste of roasted malt, tobacco, dark chocolate and coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Good!

Madness were the only band to appear twice on The Young Ones comedy series. No second appearance here, just an easy session ale probably never to be repeated. Hoppy

Beer Number 12 at the Wigan Beer Festival 2025. Crisp, hopped, then tropical fruit with a sweetness too. Very good. Slightly sticky-sweet.
