This was really good, tons of coffee flavor with a little extra sweetness that lead to a great stout with great balance. Pours dark brown with brown head, lots of lacing. It’s got a rich coffee flavor and decent sweetness, some chocolate flavor, and a long dry finish. Very tasty cask.

Merry Firkin Christmas. This grotesque santa liked this cask the best of the three holiday party specials. Aroma was classic kujo with some spice. Flavor was more of the same with the coffee cake flavors coming through to a greater extent.
