Jan 11, 2009 <i>Cask Conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - The Pommelers Rest, London</i>
Black color. It has a mild aroma of chocolate malts. The flavor mixes very wel chocolate malts, some caramel (to bring in a light sweetness) and light roasted malt; there is a touch of cookies too; very harmonious and balanced. Really good.

Jan 2, 2009 Cask at JDW in Hammersmith during "Spoons Fest in a Day" crawl, 2nd Nov 08. Beer of the festival for me. Pure black with a thick white head - looks just like a pint of Guinness. Wonderfully smooth and full but with the strength nicely concealed. Lovely burnt malty taste and aroma. Very good stuff.
