Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with minimal cream head. As might be expected, the aroma is mainly roasted malts. In the mouth it is sweet and slightly watery. Flavour is roast malts again along with cola and some hints of chocolate and biscuits. A pretty decent stout.

Cask at EBF Autumn 22. Aroma has Ovaltine - malty chocolate. Darkest brown. Light creamy chocolate with a sour edge. Malt. Light-medium bitter. Light-medium bodied. Creamy with a chalky mouthfeel. Long slightly astringent finish. Not that interesting. Doesn't make its mark.

Cask at the Head of Steam, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear copper colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt, light yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a yeasty, floral, medicinal, light malt palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty grim. Ordered half a pint and could drink no more than a couple of sips. CAMRA really needs to be speaking to the brewery and / or the bar. Beers like this do the cause no good at all.
gave a cheers!

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours almost black with minimal cream head. The aroma has plenty of liquorice and treacle. Pretty much the same in the mouth, where there is a slight wateriness. Plus roasted malts, and a chewy texture with some bitterness showing through later. This is a pretty decent stout – and prompted a heated discussion about Lloyd Cole & the Commotions !

Nice fruity amber ale, its a great balance between malt and fruity hops. Its a shame this has been discontinued
