Jan 4, 2009 The Smithfield, Manchester. Cappuccino head on pitch. Roasty espresso, singed barley aroma with a hint of vanilla. Smoke building in the mouth with more black coffee, bramble and soot. Solid dry burnt to a crisp finish. Body a bit flimsy and low condition, but creamy with it. Some true stoutiness here, Joy Division on the jukebox. 14 easy.

Gravicask @ Reading Beer Festival. Black with a slight tan head. Red wine and some nice oaky and smokey notes. Some fruity character also. Just seems to be lacking some balls. Slightly chalky in the finish. Good but could be better.

Jan 13, 2007 Cask@Derby Winter Beer Festival 2007. Black beer with strong head. The aroma is roasted and mild and the flavour is watery and mildly malty. Overall a nice gentle beer, more like a mild than a stout.
