2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. A pitch black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and wood. The flavor is acidic from the roasted malt, but I think there’s also a slight infection mixed in, leading to a tart finish.

Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW, Gracechurch St, London 14-11-09 Pours dark brown, probably black but poor light which is a problem I encounter in just about all JDW’s makes it tricky to be certain on colour. Some chocolate on the nose, cocoa powder in the mouth, a little sourness at the edges, bit of coffee, its fine. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov13 3.0

Dark ale - starts off like a smoky porter but has a fruity undertone. Dry finish with a subtle sweet note. A little off the beaten track!

aroma of burnt autumn leaves, very pleasant! slight heaviness to the palate. colour is pitch black. Nice and warming, but I wouldn’t drink a lot of it.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
bottle with ethereal. Aromas of coffee, sour milk and malt. pitch black colour. flavours of stale coffee, earth, and farmyard, very very watery. consistent with its strenght but too light for my liking..
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at Chris_o’s The Wolf tasting. Thanks to Ethereal for this one. Very dark brown with thin beige head. Really quite good. Some charcoal. Drier than most. Lacks a bit of body, but ok.
