4.0 (15/09/2019) Pint at The Captain Kidd, Wapping, London. Black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, strong coffee, cocoa. Taste is more of the same with a smoky, woody, roasted character. Creamy mouthfeel. Moderate dry bitterness on the finish. A classy stout and an old favourite.

3.5 On tap at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, London. Pours black with creamy beige head. Roasted malts, coffee, caramel, sweetish. Creamy texture, dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied.

3.4 Sampled on draught at the Windsor Castle (ex-Cardinal) next to Westminser Cathedral. Black with a cream-coloured head. Roasted malt aroma and taste, with notes of coffee and liquorice. Medium body and very smooth. A beer to rival Guinness with perhaps a litlle more flavour than its famous competitor. A nice stout which is highly drinkable.

4.2 On tap(nitro). Black body with a creamy brown head. Aroma of chocolate, cream, coffee, toast and floral hops. The taste has loads of chocolate, coffee, toast, dark sugar, cream, dark fruits and floral hops. Creamy but finishes dry and bitter. Great stout.

4.0 A pint in the York Arms , York. Pitch black in colour lovely coffee dark chocolate aroma, with roasted grains taste. It's a great beer that always lives up to the expectations. The only down side, it was served way too cold. Otherwise, a brilliant stout.

4.6 Great flavour. On draft at the Three Goats Heads, Oxford. Well kept beer, well served. Perfect.

3.5 Pint at Earl of Lonsdale, Portobello road. Aromas is rye, caramel, coffee. Cream beige head, black body. Taste is smooth and creamy with sweet notes of rye, caramel, coffee. Creamy texture. I liked it.

3.0 Keg at The Angel, is that Holborn? Only the vaguest of aromas. Something roasty and malty. Looks damn good - jet black with a thick light beige head. Sweet with some bitterness out there, not waving but drowning. A sour berry chocolateness but very low key. Light-medium bodied. Pretty watery. Flat. Very low key finish. Inoffensively drinkable, i.e. doesn’t taste of much, wet and cold.

3.9 Noire collet epais de creme Aromes tres torréfiés Mousse onctueuse, saveur café sur finale sèche

3.0 Keg at soho pub. Pours black with a residing perfect foam. Scent roasted malt and taste is consistent. A bit simple. Good.

3.4 Tap. Aroma has coffee chocolate and caramel notes. Pours dark with cream top and broken lacing. Taste has some bitterness. Slightly light in body but fairly lasting in the finish. 31/01/20 second sipping Still an aromatic malty stout with good bitter notes

3.5 Keg at The Angel, Rotherithe an old boozer my great grandad used to drink. Served way too cold. Pours dark brown with nice looking creamy head. Roasted malts and quite bitter.

3.8 Cask halfpint at Nellies, aka SamSmith-owned The White Horse Inn, Beverley, EastYorkshire. - Pours both cocoa-powdery and creamy from its cask. Dry cocoa roast and thin toasted bread, thin filter coffee and chocolate milk in aroma. Great hop dryness and a thin layer of roast over a sessionable traditional dry stout that is as easy to session as to love, especially in this its natural environment.

3.7 A great looking pint, pitch black with a crisp white head. I am new to stout and for me this was delicious. I would drink it again in a heartbeat.

3.6 Tap @King William, Bristol. Medium off-white creamy head, very dark brown colour, good lacing. Aroma: bread, lightly roasted, bit of chocolate and coffee. Lightly acidic with bitter aftertaste. Medium body, soft carbonation. Drinkable, smooth, needs more body, but generally really nice.

3.4 Nitro Keg Pint at Cittie of York, Holborn, London in Mar 2010 - Pitch Black in colour, with sustained creamy head. Very Malty; roast (almost burnt) malts, coffee, some chocolate, hint of liquorice. Hoppy; earthy hops. Roast malty throughout with bitter earthy hops. Long bitter finish. Very Dry. Tasty. Liked this a lot. Nice Stout! (2010-03)

2.1 Keg @ Sinclairs Oyster Bar. Aroma is lacking, a little roasted malt but nothing much. Appearance is good, nice and black like a stout. Taste is sickly and artificial, also too much carbonation on the palate. This beer is terrible in keg, if you’re going to have it make sure it’s in cask.

3.2 Keg at the Cittie of Yorke, High Holborn, London. Poured very deep dark brown with a large creamy tan colour head. Aroma is chocolate, malt, roasted, and dark fruit. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Medium body, smooth texture. Light bitterness to finish.

Taste is low to medium sweet milk chocolate, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, dry bitter cocoa finish. Medium- bodied, soft carbonation, creamy. Excellent stuff! (on tap, Earl of Lonsdale, London)

3.1 Keg at The Colpitts, Durham, £2.20/pint. Black beer with a loose, foamy, cream-coloured head. The nose is muted but rich, with caramel, chocolate and light coffee, leading into a pleasant smoky caramel and chocolate flavour. Pretty good.
