Bottle at Chris_o’s The Wolf tasting. I really am going to have to get some more of this from the brewery. Very deep ruby colour with thin tan head. Good roasted malt, very deep and rich, rather lovely. Good in mouth, rich thick and excellent.

[330ml bottle from The Bottleneck, Broadstairs] Deep ruby-black with a moderate tan head. There’s a slight fizz but a smooth, rich, creamy mouthfeel. Plain chcolate dominates at first, followed up by a strong (but not too burnt) roastiness. Port, liquorice and blackberries develop, and there’s a spicy kick in the finish. An interesting and complex stout that’s a delight to drink. Nice one!

Bottled in July 2010. Black. Low carbonation with frothy ring to the head. Smells a little of molasses, a little of charcoal and a little of blackjack sweets. Roasted flavours dominate to start followed by a slight sourness and some alcoholic liquorish burn. Finish is roasted malt. Hopping rate seems low with some leafy hop flavour hiding in the background. Cracking little beer.

Bottle from Mr Lawrence Wine Merchants, Brockley. Black pour with a tan head. Chocolate, dark fruit and raisin aromas. Quite earthy. Chocolate, caramel and coffee flavours. Quite sweet. Coffee in the finish .Tasty.

Bottle: Lots of roasted malt with a little chocolate and coffee. You don’t detect the alcohol at all. Little bit smoky. This is a really nice, interesting stout.

(Cask @ The Man Of Kent, Rochester). This is an attractive stout both to look at and drink . I felt lots of Black Forest Gateau like flavour. Kinda tart and with dry roast. Good construction in this.

bottle at home ... black ... thin tan head ... sweet roast malt ... light hocolate nose ... light bitter chocolate front ... nice roast malts ... light blackcurrant and plums ... juicy malts ... quite tasty

Molasses dark chocolate, dark cherries. Briny. Great mouth feel, well balanced, salty. Superb. Lingering briny finish. Yum.

Cask conditioned handpump Criterion Leicester. A black beer with a good whitish head. Pretty delicious. The milky and malty aroma doesn’t foretell the wonderful warming oatmeally taste. Salty. A long finish. Would have liked it a degree or two cooler but there are some lovely flavours in this.

Bottle@Home. Strange aroma, dust, chocolate, tea, bisquit. Very dark brown, light brown head, good lace. Complex and not common flavors. Light sweet, malty, roasted, chocolate, coffee, black berries, coffee liqour, light salty. Soft mouthfeel. Flavorful and out of the ordinary for sure.
