Jun 20, 2009 Cask at the Pembury Tavern, London on 19th June 2009. Intensely dark, quickly diminshing magnolia-coloured head. Strong coffee aroma, roasted malt in the kick which is augmented by bitter hop notes and a hint of peppery piquancy. Goes to a long, sustained bitter finish with the roasted malt flavours remaining throughout. A delicious stout, which I enjoyed very much.

Sep 28, 2008 Cask. Pours a typical ruby-black with a think white-cream head. Didn’t really deliver on the flavour as I’d hoped and expected; some chocolatey liquorice and the usual hints of coffee and roasted malts but fairly thin and nothing new here or particularly well balanced.
branding is nice though.

May 4, 2008 Cask at Glenrothes BF 08. Black to brown with a thin bubbly beige head. Nose is lively malty, sweet warming and some syrupy. Initial taste is baby powder, chalky, malt, some attacking bitterness. Espresso strength and more chalkiness in the palate. Little bit offensive, but on the whole, good.
