harrisoni (5474), Ashford, Kent, England Feb 23, 2007 Cask condition, handpull at Wenlock Arms. Black beer with brown edges, tan head. This is a pretty good stout. Nice charcoal. some decent dark fruits and chocolate. I like the toasty parts on it. duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Mar 13, 2007 Cask@The Wenlock Arms. Roasty, and sweet, with notes of caramel and mollasses. The finish is roasty and helps to combat the sweetness a little. Still, probably a little sweet and thin, i like my stouts a bit more roasty.

Cask at the Wenlock. A solid stout all round. Coffee, roasty, all you need. Slight plastic note lets it down a little but its good enough for it to not be an issue. Enjoyed this. imdownthepub (4247), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Jul 21, 2008 Cask conditioned at Merton Summer B.F ’08. Black with cream head. Quite sweet for a Porter, some coffee notes, but an overwhelming flavour of Pontefract Cake. Liquorice and touches of chocolate. It’s ok. maeib (4106), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Sep 8, 2007 Cask conditioned - handpump - Out Of The Vaults Leicester. A black beer with a loose whitish head. The aroma is fairly thin but there are some light chocolate notes. The taste is creamy and milky with chocolate notes again. Smooth and sweetish. Acceptable.
