Cask at Crewe Dog. Pours a murky chocolate brown with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is mainly malts with some hints of rye. In the mouth it’s reasonable enough to start off with malts, nuts and rye plus hints of ginger and spice. However, after a while a harsh metallic bitterness comes in and turns the dominant flavour to cough mixture ! Not at all keen on this one.

Can from Eltham Wines. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is plum jam, red grape, toffee, strawberry Starburst. Taste is awash with rich jammy red & dark fruits, oak, spot of vanilla coming through in the back end. Rich jammy fruity aftertaste. More an imperial sour than a stout, very nice though.

Tap at Brewdog Canary wharf. A jet black coloured pour with a lasting mid tan head. Aroma is nice piney hop, sap, tar, black malts, faint roast. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, toasted malts, mellow roast, sticky sap, tar, pine resin, burnt bark. Assertive burnt pine bitterness. Palate is semi sweet, resinous, moderate fine carbonation. Punchy but a little rough round the edges.

On tap at BrewDog Liverpool, pours black with a medium dark brown head. Aroma is full of deep roasted malt, intense piney hops, and a touch of orange peel. Flavour is rich and roasty, with big roasted malt, complemented by a strong piney hop blast, and lightly accentuated by orange peel. Balanced, cohesive, and assertive in both the hop and malt departments. Excellent.
