August 2016 - Cask handpull at GBBF 2016 as ’Quantum Stout’. Black with a red hue, small foamy tan head. Aroma is chocolate, earthy, ashy, lightly fumey. Body is smooth with soft carbonation. Taste is chocolate, ashy, dusty and dry into the finish. Decent stout. (3.4)

On tap at The Macc, Macclesfield. Black with a medium sized tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, licorice, tar, coffee. Flavour has mild dark chocolate flavours and coffee, some fruity hops. Good stuff.

Black-brown in colour with a massive tan head (guess someone treated the bottle not the way you are supposed to...). On the nose aromas of barnyard, roasted malt, toffee and light bitter chocolate notes develop. Fizzy fading away into a slick bit watery texture with a medium-full body. The taste is light sweet and light bitter-sour. The finish is medium and lasts mainly on the center of the palate.

Cask (gravity) @ NWAF 2012, National Winter Ales Festival, The Venue, Sheridan Suite, Manchester, England.

Clear dark black brown color with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, chocolate, coffee. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, malt bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20120119]

Cask conditioned handpump Mr Foleys Leeds 02/05/12. A black beer with a nice whitish head. Roasty coffee and a little sour mash in the nose. Very fruity in the mouth and also very dry. More coffee and pronounced bitterness. It lacks body but does have good flavours.

Cask at NWAF, 2012 A bit on the thin side perhaps but all the flavours are there, roast barley, coffee and some floral hops bringing a bitter edge. Very nice.
