[cask at the Back of Beyond, Reading] Smoke and coffee on the nose. Tastes of coffee & coca cola, like a sweeter smoother guinness without the carbonation. A hint of smoke in the flavour, lots of treacle, some plummy fruit, and quite sweet and syrupy (but not unpleasantly so) by the end.

Dec 22, 2008 Cask @ Wenlock Arms with Magic Dave6 and Mes. I have to admit that I would try this just for the name since I m a huge fan of the series. Black colored with slim head. Roasted and chocolate malts. Hints of coffee and caramel. Bitter sweet with a nice warm finish. I liked it.

Jul 13, 2008 Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End in recent international beer fest. Jet black, excellent lasting creamy beige head and good conditioning. Appealing aromas of creamy bitter coffee and chocolate but a little muted, soft yet full bodied and fruity in the mouth with a vague hint of tart woodiness and dominant bitter sweet roast barley notes. Lingering coffee and chocolate dry bitterness with a touch of oak and peat in the finish. Class beer.

Apr 10, 2008 <i>Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.</i> Deep reddish brown with a trace of tan head; rich fruity aroma; fruity and weet, thick and chewy in the mouth with hints of raisins, plums and sour cherries; lingering, sweet, port-like, warming finish.
