Cask at GBBF 2010, 5th Aug 2010. Flat murky brown. Tired taste with just some very average malt flavours. Looks like I got the bottom of the barrel, given the other rates for this from that day.

Roasty aroma. Brownish in color. Flavor is roasty with a bit of apple notes. Notes: On cask

Cask at GBBF 2010. An opaque brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has light notes of vegetables and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and citrusy hops as well as lighter notes of roasted malt. Not much of a stout, but a decent brown ale.

Cask Stillage at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 05/08/2010 Fruit and hop aromas. Dark coloured and a little rich on the palate with some alcohol present. A hint of dryness and bitterness in a coffee roast finish.

5th August 2010. GBBF.
Cloudy dark brown beer. Light dry palate. Sweetish malt. Nice touch of chocolate.Good underpinning dark fruit - tangy plum and some generic fruits. Finishes fairly dry with a pinch of spice. Some grassy spice in the aftertaste. Nicely joined up.

CaskGBBF2010. Murku ambery brown colour, not much head. Aroma is alcohol, fruits, earth and some mild liquorice. Flavour is fruits, liquorice, alcohol and some quite plummy notes.

From cask. Pours dark brown to black with a fully gone head. Aroma is dark malty and roasted. Sweet malty, dark breadish and hardroasted malt flavoured. Bitter and dry into the finish. Rather dry and mild acidic.

I think this beer is clear, but it’s too dark to tell. Strong roast malt aroma. Heavy body with a sour finish that spoils an otherwise nice stout.

Pint at the brewpub - Mild aroma of dark roasted malts, hops and chocolate. Flavor is more intense, soy, black licorice, chocolate, dark roasted malts, hops but is lactic. Palate is sticky. It’s big and flavorful but just a touch off the mark.
