Bottle (ChrisO Pre-GBBF2011 "Donkey Dork Lord" Shindig)
Pretty tasty stout. Cowers in the shade of the American Xantus IS I just had. Simple, rich roast dominates, but there’s no lack of balance there. Would like to have it again, certainly.

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.

buckets of hops! a really sharp tasting ale with a serious malt backbone and the aforementioned hops. pours pitch black with a small foamy tan head. aromas are a heady mix of floral hops and dark roasted malts. mild bitter finish. if it didn’t say it in big letters on the label i’d be tempted to say it was one of them Black IPA things.

Thanks Colin for this bottle. A black beer with a thick tan head. Lovely port, chocolate, coffee and roasty malt nose. Flavours similar with a chewy mouth-feel. Heavily carbonated and a little CO2 prickle. Long chocolate linger and well balanced alcohol. Delicious!

Bottle @ chriso. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma. Roasted malty chocolate flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate finish.
