An intense black, rich, coffee accented stout. As others have noted, licorice, roast malt and bitter chocolate are also in evidence. Sumptuous, smooth, mouthfeel. Excellent stuff that bodes well for this new brewery. Cask (gravity dispense) at St Albans Beer Festival 2004.

Dec 17, 2007 A Mes rate: Cask at The Wenlock.
Black and opaque with a thin rim of tan foam. Superb aroma of chocolate, liquorice, coffee maltiness and some lightly sour and delicately hoppy notes. Flavour follows on in the same vein. Lovely chocolate, more hops than you would usually expect and a lovely slightly sour finish with great length. Lovely mouthfeel. A glorious stout.

Apr 14, 2007 Cask@Leicester Beer Festival 2007. Dark beer with a light brown head. The aroma is fishy and the flavour is quite bitter and fishy. Overall a strange fishy beer.

Black colour with some alcohol. Slightly rich on the palate. Bitter roast finish with a little dryness.

Feb 23, 2005 Cask. Kings Arms as usual. A good stout as stouts go. Black as yer ’at and twice as tasty. All the usual suspects.
