Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Stout black with a contasting white head. Wow. This stout was absolutely, uniquely amazing. Not full of roasted malts, not toasting or dry but lovely. Somehow green seaweed flavours, perhaps romanticised but enjoyable none the less. Dakar’s world rules.

Cask Conditioned at The Black Horse, Moreton Morrell, Warks. Black with ruby hint and tan head. Lovely thick stout, dry and powdery with a chocolate roasted malt. Nutty at the finish with a silky smoothness. Very good beer, however; this used to be 4.6 ABV and somehow I remember it being a little better.

A dark, almost black beer, with a strong coffee brown head. A bittersweet malty nose with a toasted nuttiness. The taste is also of butter sweet malt, plus a hint of liquorice and hops. The body is medium for such a beer and the aftertaste is smooth and rounded. (Draught - Darby’s, Swanton Morley, Norfolk).

Cask at the Brewery Tap with renffisch. Black with a small tan head. Salty smelling with a bit of kiwi fruit too. The oyster element is very evident in the flavour and there’s even a slight seaweed taste. The palate has a creamy element but there’s a slightly plasticky component though. Interesting stuff.

Cask handpull at Wenlock Arms, London. Black, dark beige/tan head. Decent fullish stout. Great roasted slightly toasty stout. Bit of liquorice. Lovely rich stout. Not too subtle, but a decent stout wtih moderate richness.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 17 Apr 2009) Pitch black colour with foamy, brown head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of coffee and ashes. Roasted, malty taste with coffee (espresso), dark chocolate and a hint of liquorice and sweetness in the roasted (almost burnt) and salty finish. Rather light body.
