does not count  Feb 6, 2008 Very nice stout with a bitter taste.
Jet black with a fawn head.
It has a very high alcohol content of 7.1%.
Very drinkable.

Dec 3, 2007 <i> Cask at The Briar Rose?, JDW, Temple Hill, Birmingham 01-12-07</i> Poured black with merest of heads. Intensely bitter and roasted coffee are very much the hallmarks of this beer but it was nice all the same, also quite dry and unlike others I thought that the alcohol wasn’t too bad.

Black smooth on the palate and very strong in alcohol. Some dryness in a crisp bitter slight roast finish.

Feb 13, 2005 General looking black beer with a malty and bitter aroma and a strong tasting bitter stout flavour. Overall a reasonable strong beer.

Feb 11, 2005 Deep black with a beige head. Aromas are bitter roast malts, some earthiness, licourice and alcohol. Flavours are very roast malts - it tastes "dark". Some licourice too. Quite bitter with lots of harsh and not warming alcohol - as if it was added after the brewing process. This lacks smoothness and complexity. Decent all the same.
