StueyD (590), King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Norfolk, England May 31, 2006 A dark chocolate brown beer with a reddish hue, but a weak, off white to beige head. A light toasted malt nose, reminiscent of damp cardboard! A bittersweet tast of burnt toast, caramel and liquorice, with a smooth malty finish. (Cask, gravity - The Fat Cat, Norwich, Norfolk).
imdownthepub (4248), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Oct 28, 2008 Cask conditioned at the Fat Cat, Norwich. Reddish brown with white head. Quite a sweetish stout and just a little thin. Some toasted malt, quite fruity, citric, which makes it a little odd. Its just a little odd for a stout but perfectly ok. chimplechamp (393), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 5, 2008 cask at paisley beer fest ’08-pours nearly opaque, classic looking big foam head, nose takes breath away pure butter chocolate and biscuit. taste is cigarette ash. and burnt toast. like an afternoon at a smokers, it is like licking an ashtray i cant say i have drunk a beer that turns my stomach in such a way. cgarvieuk (2612), Edinburgh, Scotland May 4, 2008 Cask at Paisley Beer Festival 2008 ... brown red ... thin malt nose ... thin body but loads of flavour ... rich toasted malts ... some chocolate and coffee character. sm89walt (199), Norwich, Norfolk, England May 3, 2008 Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Very dark brown colour with a thin and sparse off-white head that did leave a nice lacing. Roasted chocolate and malt aromas. Flavours of molasses and coffee with some grapefruit undertones. Perhaps a bit thin in terms of mouthfeel for a stout, but otherwise this is a rather tasty brew. Magicdave6 (4092), London, Greater London, England May 1, 2008 Cask at paisley beer fest. Alround rating: Roasty, but not overly so, chocolate malts, nicely balanced with a good sweetness. Good stout.
