Cask - auld hoose , north Berwick . Nice stout . Tbh usual stout-like coffee, roast barley, cocoa flavours but worked together well. Easy drunk strength . Enjoyed a good few after a Guinness.. that was oct 2022^^^….. then enjoyed can from Aldi august 2023.
Can. Really black with a fat coat of tan head. Inviting mocha and brioche aroma with hints spices. Rich and smooth with plenty of body and low carbonation but sufficiently decisive bitterness that it never seems that sweet despite being very chocolatey. Engaging and satisfying for its ABV.
On cask at Cloisters, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out gentle cocoa, toasted malt, and a touch of creamy coffee. Flavour is soft, with creamy milky coffee, light cocoa and some oats. Clean and easy to drink, but nothing special.
Can. Black with a huge beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, some chocolate and caramel notes. Sweetish, roasted, dark bread, some chocolate, light bitterness, a bit bland. Light-medium bodied, watery.

Cask Handpump at GBBF 2014, Kensington Olympia 13/08/2014 Fruit and some roast aromas. Small beige head. Black smooth on the palate and slightly hoppy. A little creamy on the palate with hints of dryness and bitterness in a fruity finish.
Third (cask) at Jolly Judge, with Craig. Flat, oily black pour. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, roasty malts. Taste does not deviate too much, and it is the texture and feel of this cask pour which really makes it stand out. Aptly named " Silkie" for a reason.
