Craft Beer Co. opening night. It’s a stout. Normal stuff. Greasy. OK. Choc. Wheat chaff.

Cask, Bar Dada, Sheffield. Black, tan head. Bitter aroma, coffee, dark chocolate and celery. Smooth more bitterness, milky and a pine resin.

Coffee/laurel smell; lot’s of fine foam with dark creamy color; great full body; wonderful bitterness; thick mouthfull; a little salty aftertaste but stil full of bitterness.

Deep ruby red with a head that really lasts. Fresh hops on the nose, sweet malt around the edges. Fresh paint if you really huff it. Hops again, followed by a bit of treacle and burned toffee, bit of roast; delicious. hops stay with you, burnt toast to finish. Bit of vanilla throughout?

A very light nose. Dark colour . A fair roasted malt flavour . Good caramel notes with hint of nutty coffee . Pretty good hop profile

Cask at Cloisters. Dark reddish brown, creamy tan head. Roast malts, chocolate, hint of raisin nose. Palate is chocolate front, more ashy malts and a big, slightly citrus hop bitterness in the linger. Awesome.

Cask by handpump at State Bar, Glasgow - pours clear very dark red with a nice creamy head, aroma is roasted malt, taste is chocolate with a hint of caramel, very smooth, I’m not normally a fan of stourt, but this is a nice drink if too strong to be a session beer

(Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico, London, 25 Nov 2011) Black colour with hints of ruby when seen through light. Foamy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, coffee and dark/dried fruit. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, dried fruit and a touch of cherries in brandy. Medium body, with a slight bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Tasty and quite powerful. Very nice.

Cask@Euston Tap, London. Very deep amber colour, close to black, with a small off-white heaad. Aroma is liquorice, some fudge, dark fruits and some mild plummy notes. Flavour is chocolate, liquorice, dark dry fruits as well as some toffee and quite nice bitterness. Long bitter aftertaste.

Cask at Euston Tap, London. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, malty aroma. Tastes roasty, malty, some chocolate. Pleasant stout.
