Cask handpump at St Andrews Brewhouse, Norwich, Thursday 19th January 2017 Pours smudgey gold with a little white head. Lacks a crisp and sparkle to it, it’s fine but a bit bereft of hops, more malty and a little sweet, it’s fine. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Keg at St Andrews brewpub, Norwich. It pours jet black with a thick light tan head. The aroma is rich roast, stinky sorachi aniseed, bubblegum, pink marshmallow and chocolate. The taste is bitter, rich roasted malts, charred wood, jammy berry, toasted pink marshmallow, alcohol warmth, liquorice and peppery spice. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty rich and punchy. I generally dislike sorachi ace, but it presents itself here as sweet bubblegum. Nice black ipa.

Cask at the brewpub. It pours black with a medium beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, bakewell tart, cherry jam and coffee cake. The taste is rich roasted malt, cocoa, coffee grounds, ripe cherry, raspberry pip and toast with a dry, roasted finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. I gather they have tweaked the recipe on this one and is a good deal better than that samples by the previous reviews. A nice cherry porter.
