Cask at GBBF 08. Black, thin tan head. Roasty aroma, coffee and choc. Fine, good dark roasted flavours, very dark and roasted in fact. Fine, bit of ashtray, but a decent reasonably intense stout.

Sep 2, 2008 Very dark in appearance with patchwork-like head. Dark, sweet malt to the nose. Coffee-chocolate taste offset by a welcoming bitter ending. Silky in the mouth. Good stuff (Hand-puled cask at GBBF, 07.08.2008).
