Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Nottingham BF. A black beer with a tiny puddle of tan head. The aroma is quite dry with a little roast. The taste is dull and a bit tired. Dry. Described by the brewery as a stout so changed over.

Cask gravity Notts BF 05. Deep ruby/brown with thin beige head. Nice choc and fullish in mouth. Good choc on end. In fact really quite chocolatey overall

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Dark black, with a bubbly beige head. A thin, fruity mouthfeel, reminiscent of blackcurrant cordial or fruit pastilles. A tip of the hat to roast on the finish, but otherwise no dryness. Not sure about the style here: I think it’s a sweet Porter, but equally it could be a fruity Mild, or a very dark ESB. Hopefully someone else will try it and have an opinion. OK
