Nov 14, 2009 Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW, Gracechurch St, London 14-11-09 Pours dark brown, probably black but poor light which is a problem I encounter in just about all JDW’s makes it tricky to be certain on colour. Some chocolate on the nose, cocoa powder in the mouth, a little sourness at the edges, bit of coffee, its fine. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov13 3.0

Dark ale - starts off like a smoky porter but has a fruity undertone. Dry finish with a subtle sweet note. A little off the beaten track!

Feb 25, 2009 aroma of burnt autumn leaves, very pleasant! slight heaviness to the palate. colour is pitch black. Nice and warming, but I wouldn’t drink a lot of it.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle at Chris_o’s The Wolf tasting. Thanks to Ethereal for this one. Very dark brown with thin beige head. Really quite good. Some charcoal. Drier than most. Lacks a bit of body, but ok.

Pours pitch-black with a small, creamy beige head. Aroma is sweet chocolate and cocoa. Perhaps a bit thin, otherwise nice mouthfeel. Quite dry flavour, wonderful balance with a good cocoa base. Great, mild stout.

Dec 25, 2007 Updated: Apr 25, 2008A Mes rate: 50cl bottle at Casper’s Christmas Cracker.
Totally black with a lovely consistency and a thin but tenacious tan head. Fantastic milky coffee aroma with very strong dark chocolate and vanilla. Charming and very nosable. Glorious coffee stout flavour. Chalky and bitter. Dark chocolate, tarry, full bodied and complex. Superb light smoky notes. Lovely chocolate malt finish with great length. Considering these guys have only been brewing for a year this is a stunning stout. Best beer I have had from a new brewer in a long time. Fanbloodytastic!
