Rich roasted malt flavours combine with spice and fruit. This quite a mouthful, there’s a hint of bitter chocolate on the finish. Lovely stuff! Bottle, Asda Carlisle.

Oct 26, 2009 (Bottle at SMÖF 2009) It poured a dark liquid with a small light dirty brown foam. It had a stingy smell of smoke and something burned. It had a smooth mouthfeel. Tasted of smoke and something burned. Nice but not very complex.

Sep 25, 2009 Bottle from The Beer Hall, Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley, Cumbria. Dark brown with a small beige head. Faint malt aroma with a little ash. Toffee malt taste, slightly overwhelmed by the carbonation and rather woolly bitter finish. This would be better from the cask.

Feb 8, 2009 Filtered, bottled. Dark brown-black in appearance. Initially, a floral aroma, with faint maltiness coming through. Doesn’t have the body of a true stout and it’s slightly too heavy for a mild. Towards the end, the roastiness comes through,as does blackcurrant and a hint of liqurice. Dry finish.

Jan 11, 2009 Cask conditioned - handpump - Coach & Horses, Wellingborough A black beer with an off white head. The aroma has good hops which seem to be US (the commercial description proves that) Soap also in the nose. The taste has more good hops as well as chocolate. A little sourness. Very tasty and interesting.

Jan 2, 2009 One of the bottles Traci brought back for me from her trip to the Lakes District. Deep brown, modest layer of gray-tan head. Raw green chocolate aroma, green plums, a touch of brine. Brine more forward in the flavor, along with a pleasant smokey/fish quality. Clean charcoal roast, grapeskin chalky finish. Dry parmesan exhale. Good depth, maybe a little light in body, but sound overall.
