Cask at The Hope, Carshalton. It pours black with a thick, bubbly light tan head. The nose is toasted, rich roast, plenty of dark chocolate, rocky road, burnt treacle, umami, dull smoke, grapefruit and a touch of marmalade. The taste is smooth, rich roast, some creaminess, bitter, burnt pine, toasted action, liquorice, dark chocolate, some umami, light alcohol and citrus peel with a dry, toasted finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth, well rounded and rather flavoursome. A quality cask stout with a modern twist.

Wakefield Beer Festival 2015. Dark with roasted malts fused with a general sweetness, presumably from the honey, but this actual flavour is very low.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. A golden amber pour with a thin white head; floral aroma with some gingery spice in the background; thick syrupy consistency that coats the mouth, with a gentle but sustained bitterness, and the sweetness well balanced with some sour grains. Saitsfying and easy to drink.
