Bottle shared at beer study. Black with a study off white lace, small beige head. Nose is roasty, light smoke, dark fruits, charred oak. Flavor is malty and roast, quite husky. A little metallic and mineral-like in the finish. Thanks Papsoe! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

75cl, English brew, from Beers of Europe Setchey, not complex dry Stout, malty/roasted and slightly woody, balanced, clear, good head, nice brew

On tap @ Marble Arch. Pours opaque black with a nice creamy fawn head. The nose has dark chocolate, perhaps heading into liquorice. The taste has more dark chocolate but this time there’s also a hint of coffee. The palate is medium to full bodied with a big creamy texture and a slightly cloying but still nice finish. Overall, good but could be better balanced.

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. Pours an opaque black, with a tiny head. Aroma is dark fruit, coffee, port. Taste is ashy, with dark fruits, some port and coffee. Medium body, with a longish finish. Yummy, but could be better.

Bottle from Trembling Madness. Opaque black, bubbly creamy beige head that leaves good lacing. Nose of liquorice, oak, oats, soft port fruit, some dry roast malts. Thick, roasty palate - very dry. Ashy, coffee, tobacco, touch of lactose too, hint of liquorice and wood, just the barest hint of sweetness. Finish is dry, ashy, roast malt bitterness. Very subtle, but very tasty.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, London on 4th April 2012. Ink black with thin part-lacing grey head. Pungent aroma with smoke notes. Roast malts, coffee and lacticity in-mouth, along with smoke and herbiness leading to a rich and complex end. Engaging texture. Delicious.

Cask @ Craft. Jet black with decent head. Smokey aromas. More hop bitterness than from roasted malts, but coffee is lingering in the aftertaste.

On cask at Trembling Madness, York. Heavy black, settling out with a creamy tan head. Taste is sweet, with plenty of bitter roast malt, before rocketing into spur red fruit and port. Enduring sour finish, really decadent, if a little heavy going.

Cask@The Knott, Manchester Dark brown with plums on the nose. Rich and fruity with coffee and chocolate in the finish.

Bottle. Near black with a beige foam. Aromas are burnt toast and coffee with hazelnut syrup. Herbal liquorice with cocoa. Vinous with dark chocolate and blackberry. Light marzipan with hints of smoke. Flavours are cola and chocolate with coffee and dark chocolate bitterness. Grapefruit with spices and earthy, smoky notes. Good.
