Cask at the brewpub. Opaque black / dark brown coloured pour with a lasting mid tan head. Aroma is nutty ashy roast coffee, roasted barley and some choc and smoke. Flavour is composed of semi sweet caramel, ashy roast, chalky, roasted barley. Palate is a bit thin and lacking, moderate carbonation, quite sweet. . Bit lacklustre, maybe a little sweet. Lingering caramel and ashy roast. Some milky coffee. OK.

Cask at the brewpub. Pours rich brown with a frothy beige head: the nose holds nicely smoked dark malts, a bit of cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with moderate earthy bitterness, some burnt meat, more smoke, baking cocoa, dried fruits. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Finishes somewhat dry with notes of burnt grainy bread, burnt grass, dry smoke, chalky cocoa, earth. Pretty decent.

Cask at the brewpub. Almost clear dark amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is airy and smooth with modest fine carbonation. Smooth and sweetish brown malts, light tang. Touch of dry malt cream. Mild but tangy dark chocolate and subtle dark fruits. Very mellow spices, cinnamon and cloves. Pretty easy drinking as the spices haven’t been overdone.

Cask at the brewpub - Islington, London. Pours perfectly clear yellow-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Doughy pale bread on the nose with light butter notes. Light sweet flavor with a bit of dough, light buttered pale bread, low bitterness, faint straw and grain. Light bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Decent balance in the ending, more doughy and lightly buttery pale malts, biscuits, straw. OK.
