| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 28, 2007 Cask (handpump) Derby BF (Summer) 2006. One of the first beers on in the Darwin Suite and I was one of the eager bods to be first in line to try it. Fantastically dry, has a dessicating touch that’s lifted slightly by a smokiness that has a faint echo of the island’s well-known south coast whiskies. As black as your hat, if your hat’s very black. A good dry stout.
