2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask (gravity) at The Wharf, the very same beer Phredrik rated. Nice appearance, almost pitchblack with light bubbly foam. The aroma is nice and roasted with coffee notes and, as it developed in the glass, more and more chocolate. The taste is roasted, a bit of coffee and, as the aroma develops into complex notes of chocolate. Taste is better than the mouth-feel which is a bit thin though it’s nocely carbonated.

Cask (gravity) at The Wharf. Aroma is very pleasant, lots of coffee, amaretto, dark burned caramel, chocolate, a bit of hoppiness, fudge. Awesome aroma, lots of toffee. Taste tends more towards the roasted spectrum, adding liquorice root and an ashy touch. Still (but not quite as) lovely. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Very nice stout.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2010. Black, thin tan head. Good choc and lovely dark fruits on the aroma. Touch of charcoal. Certainly Westerham yeast is present, even a touch of funky manure but in a good way. Really good, funky and I love the manure. Superb.
