(on tap @ Exmouth Arms) Pours like a Guinness: Pitch black with dense and creamy, tan head. Aroma is probably partially hidden by the dense cap of foam but I can smell a grainy, roasted malt with ashy hints. Oily texture, medium to light body, soft carbonation and a short, dry and roasted finish. Taste is generally roasted malt with a little dry bitterness from the hops. Tastes good but perhaps a bit thin and not terribly exciting. Probably good with food or sessionable but I’ve grown accostumed to intimidating imperial stouts and this one does not make much fuss of itself.

On draft @ the hanging bat, pours opaque black with a massive mocha/crema head, massive lacing aroma is coffee, hints of sweetness, taste is much more sweet. But finishes with a lingering bitterness.

Draught @ Euston Tap, 190 Euston Road, London, Greater London, England NW1 2EF.

Dark black colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, burnt, sweet malt. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120803]

Fra fat på Craft Beer Co, Brixton 4 Nov 12. Svart. Lavt, litt farget skum som fester seg til glasset som prikker. Kaffearoma med innslag av sjokolade. Smaken tørr sjokolade. Uspennende.

Keg at Craft Beer Co, Islington, London. A black coloured pour with a small white head that vanishes quite quickly. Roasty, malty aroma. Tastes roasty, malty, some coffee and chocolate in there. Decent stout from Camden Town.

Served chilled (a bit too far) from tap at Craft Beer Co in Brixton, half-pint shared with Finn. Tiny layer blanketing the glass. Jet black body. Semi-sweet malty nose, notes of coffee and earth. Taste of earthy malts slightly roasted and mid-sweet. Creamy in the mouth. Decent stout (London, 04.11.2012).
