Cask at The white Lion, Covent Garden, London dec 2012. Dark brown beer with a medium, lacy beige head. Coffee, vanilla, licorice, raisins aroma. Bitter coffee, licorice, ashes and roasted malt flavour. Too much bitter coffee flavour for me.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sweetish aroma with hints of oak, liquorice and white meat. Beautiful foam, dark in colour. "Naughty" flavour - tastes of overboiled soup and soot. A bit too eager hopping and a slightly too endurant bitterness. Hints of whisky, which is a really good thing.

On tap @ the Haymarket Bar. Pours opaque black with a nice crema. The nose is of biscuits, toffee and chocolate. The taste is much the same with the biscuits coming through particularly. The palate has a medium to full bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly elegant finish. Overall, a good ale.
