Cask at Birmingham Beer Fest 2012; Almost black colour, roast malt and chocolate aroma, shock horror this tasted a bit like a strong coffee with some hint of chocolate. Just a slight bit of hop bitterness towards the end. Slightly watery mouth feel. Very good stout.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Gravity dispense at the twelfth Twickenham Beer Festival - 18/10/12.
Mid black in appearance with a frothy tan head.
Big roast nose backed up with a great espresso aroma and a little smoke.
Rich roast malt taste with espresso in the background, caramelised sugar.
Medium bodied with a low level of carbonation lending towards a dry and bitter finish.
Excellent cask coffee stout, so much more life than the bottled version!
