3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
50cl bottle from the brewery. A deep magohany colour with a beige head and a brilliant amber glow when caught by the light; the aroma has soft malts, and the expected ground coffee; in the mouth there’s some tart fruit at first that balances well against the creamy coffee body; before a rich coffee finish. Slightly thin, but otherwise an excellent coffee stout.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 29/12/12.
Very dark mahogony brown, light black in the light, thin off white head that recedes to the edge.
Nose is a great coffee hit, roast malt, sugars, sweet espresso coffee.
Taste follows, coffee forward with a touch of dark chocolate and liqourice with a roast malt backbone.
Medium bodied with soft carbonation, roast finish.
A very good cask coffee stout!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Jacks, Westholme Stores Goring-on-Thames, consumed at home Sunday 29th July 2012 Pours very dark brown with a light beige head. Light coffee notes on the nose. Soft in mouth with a dark fruit edge, slight fruity sourness though I would stress that this appears to be intentional, it adds a nice tangy contrast to the coffeeness. Tasty coffee stout that is just perhaps a bit thin. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
