Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours pitch black with a small, foamy brown head. Medium sweet with old-school ashy roast, scorched earth, a little smoke, bitter cocoa. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, more strong ash, a little peat, baking cocoa. Great fun.
Very nice. Smooth chocolate and a nice smokiness.

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. Cloudy gold with small white head and some retention. Aroma is funky with yeast notes and a touch of citrus. Taste is grains yeast, light tart fruitiness, quite dry. Its ok.
2nd of the cocktail-inspired beers. And it's a complex beast. Smokiness, cut through with hints of the lime, then a herbal, drying finish.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Amber with a frothy head. Pleasant bitter due to the fine underlying hoppiness within.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Hazy golden with a thick bubbly-frothy head. Stated hefeweizen, which lingers in its aftertaste. Slightly unusual texture given it's cask but no less worthy. Smooth in texture here.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Dark amber with a glow and a bubbly-frothy head. Strong tasting but this is part of the sugary-malts character of the alt, which is very well styled in this respect. Has a good breadiness too in both aroma and taste.

Cask @ Cafe Beermoth, Manchester. Slightly paler golden with a creamy head. Exudes a hoppy-bitterness in about equal measure.
