Bottled, 500ml from The Old Success Inn, Sennen Cove, Cornwall. Black with off white head. Darkly roasted malts to the fore, with a bitter chocolate note along with black Americano coffee hints. There is a little over-carbonation with a distinct wet cardboard note. Some tanginess, not sure where from and just slightly thin. It’s reasonable.

Delcate sweet chocolate, low roasted barley and a touch of fruity phenols in the nose, full and meaty in the mouth with a bitter chocolate note becoming fruity and faintly smoky with some roasted bitterness developing, some liquorice develops in the finish with a little coffee lingering.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask. Pours a cloudy opaque black with a small beige head. Subtle roast in the nose - but really more pruney than roasty. Medium body, low carbonation, has a light tartness, again very pruney with a hint of licorice, hardly any roast, cough syrup notes. Hardly any bitterness. A very British interpretation of a Stout, but enjoyable. 211112
