Cock Tavern. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown beer. Residual tan head. Palate is light and a little dry. Mild licorice, traces of coffee, decent tangy fruits - both candy and dark. Finishes semi dry with mild roast malt bitterness. Interesting and very quaffable.

Cask @ Cock Tavern, Hackney E8. Pours a black color with a small tan head. has a roasted malty chocolate aroma. Roasted malty chocolate and caramel flavor. Has a roasted malty bitter chocolate finish.

Cask at the Cock Tavern, London. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige foam head. Lactic chocolate nose, some roasted coffee, too. Light to medium sweet flavor with moderate roast, light char, ash, mellow dirt and earth bitterness, light baking cocoa, some raisins. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mild dry finish with good roasted malts, ash, burnt sugars, faint alcohol. So so, but I think you could easily do more at this ABV.
