Oct 1, 2007 A Sim rate (cask at St Albans BF): Very roasty coffee aroma that just keeps on giving. Nice. Appearance is a classic almost opaque with a tinge of red. It would be a 4 with some head and/or lacing. Similar flavour to the aroma... strong roasty hit at hte beginning with lasting coffee flavour and a dark chocolate finish. Tangy, almost grapey aftertaste.

Aug 29, 2007 On graught at the Bow Bar Edinburgh: As black as coffee, small tanned layer, sticking to the glass; a bit of sweetish fruitiness in the roast-malty flavour; medium bodied, moderate to full bitter-sweet flavour; gets drier towards the fruity-malty finish; "roasted" aftertaste. Fine stuff.....

Jul 3, 2007 Cask@Ealing BF. Lots of sweet caramel notes first off, followed by some slightly ashy/lightly smokey flavours towards the finish. Some light bitterness and also a light acidity comes through in the finish. Some "milky" characters are noticed in the middle part of the beer. Not too bad though.

Apr 22, 2007 Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Dark brown with a ruby tinge. Some chocolate and coffee in the aroma. Joined by smoky malt and some phenolic, mildly medicinal notes in the flavour. Slightly woody mouthfeel, with an ashy edge that detracts a little from the overall enjoyment. Otherwise an interesting and enjoyable beer.

Mar 26, 2007 Gravity, Banbury Beer Festival. Brown-highlighted black, frosty light tan head. Profoundly rich caramel aroma; all the loviness of a doppelbock, with an underlying layer of chocolate as a bonus. Mmmm. Flavor is lightly sour coffee roast, much dryer and thiner than the decadent aroma would indicate. Based on Glen’s ratings, I wonder if the cask had fallen a bit off of prime since the day before. Never-the-less, a noteworthy beer by aroma alone.
