Mar 24, 2006 Cask handpull at Head of Steam, Euston. For some reason I have found this unbelievably difficult to find on draught this winter. Black beer with beige head. Lots of burnt malts. What is impressive is the mouth feel and the fruit. Velvety/grainy, full, intense flavours. Damsons, plums, prunes. Then a harsh, burnt finish, tempered by choc and more dark fruits. Stunning beer

Sample shared with rickgordon. Dark brown with a light brown head, mostly lasting. Aroma moderate malty (burnt, smoke, chocolate) and hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter. Light body, watery, flat carbonated. Even though also creamy like velvet.

Jan 15, 2006 Updated: Mar 22, 2006Poured at The White Horse in Parsons Green (London), a dark black with a brownish head. Coffee is strong in the aroma, with coffee and caramal in the flavour. As always, oh so smooth.
Re-rated from the cask at Whistle & Flute in Putney, London (rather than keg above), still a great beer. From the cask more resembles the bottle - a good thing.
