2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Une base de stout assez ordinaire complémenté par un côté sec et légèrement salé. Rien de bien mémorable.

Deep brown, almost black pour with a browny creamy head. Malty and chocolatey on the nose. Really smooth creamy mouthfeel with some subtle caramels and coffee. Getting sweetness and salts. Not as much carbonation here as the bottled type, and a more solid body. Lovely nutty bitter finish.

Cask (@Strands Hotel, Nether Wasdale): Deep, deep amber coloured, firm brownish creamy head; roasted malt and milk chocolate in the nose, with a subtle fruitiness underneath; not very dry bitter flavour, pretty light bodied; short and slight bitter finish with delicate chocolatey aromas. Average Stout.....

Cask Stillage at the New Century Hall, National Winter Ales Festival Manchester 19/01/2008
Roast aroma. Dark coloured smooth and a little rich on the palate. Fruity and slightly spicy with some bitterness in a dry roast malt finish.

Usual black pour with a small, creamy head which quickly dissapears. Nice fairly mild stout, lots of roasts and cereal flavours, moderate bitterness and a sweet, viscous finish. Enjoyable.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: OCT 20, 2008 Overly chilled half at The Bull, and an unexpected rate. Pitch with lots of beige lacing. Nose sweet dusty choc, roasted malt, liquorice. Dominant notes of cocoa and liquorice. Bit of plastic. Needs more roastiness to achieve true stouthood. Creamy nitro mouthfeel. Bit watery and mild-like in the finish. Certainly one of Marston’s more characterful efforts.

On tap at The Wharf. Very dark pour with a light brown head. Rich malty nose. Flavor is dry with a roasty backing. Finishes dry.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask at the Plough and Harrow (JDW), Hammersmith. CHocolate cloured with a cream head; roasted malt aroma; smooth and easy to drink with a milky chocolate flavour, but not too sweet; a rounded dry finish. A pleasant milk stout.
