Cask @ Devonshire Cat, Sheffield [100615]
Pitch black, dense tan creamy head. Nose of smooth roast, some dark chocolate, soft fruity coffee, hint of vanilla. Taste of deep dark rich malts, dark fruits, smooth fruity coffee, mellow roast. Medium to full body, soft sweet, very smooth, silky, rich, no alcohol. Finish of smooth mellow malts. Think this was 6.7%. Really tasty - this is better on cask than keg. Fantastic stout - this is going straight up to 4.1.
Keg @ Hanging Bat, Edinburgh [020413] 7/2/8/4/16 3.7
Jet black, no head, no lacing
Aroma of roasted malts, deep roast, chocolate, dark sweet malts, initial roast aroma disappeared after a while
Taste of roasted malts, dark deep malts, lots of dark quite sweet chocolate, really good flavour
Palate - Very soft carb, medium body, keg carb rather flat but no problem for me, nice smooth dark malts. Finish - rich chocolately malts, really nice long rich linger, you can almost chew the malts in your mouth during the finish, yummy
Overall - Great beer..bit flat from the keg....rather expensive for a 6% beer

Cask handpump at The Ale House, Chelmsford. A glorious stout, very dark with a nice mid-brwon head. Full bodied and rich. Strong aroma of cocoa. Went back next day for more but had run out...’broken dream’ indeed.
