Brown black pour with watery tan head and lace. Large coffee and light dry fruitiness. Coffee dominates some toasted malt, lite dried fruit flavors. Medium/full bodied and smooth. Very nice.

Pours a thick brownish-black from the cask with foamy tan head that leaves great lacing. Aroma is coffee with a hint of dark fruits and sweetness. Taste is pretty much all coffee, with a bitter biting finish. Was expecting a lot more honestly.

Cask @ ACAT - Pours dark brown/black with medium tan head. Smell is big on the coffee with some sweet rum/maple hints. Taste is still mostly coffee, but with the raisin and rum really playing nicely. Quite nice.

Cask at the Atlanta Cask Ale Fest. Pours near black with a dark brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a strong coffee note with a bit of raisin, backing roasted malts and a hint of rum. Flavor has dry roasted malts and coffee up front with touches of raisin and rum.
