Ray		29 May 2013	Good roasty and hoppy stout would have been improved by serving through a tight sparkler.

Ray		04 Jan 2011	Extraordinarily complex but well balanced stout. Would have been 5* is served at appropriate temperature. Still a 'beer of the year' contender and it's only early January.
Ray		03 Jan 2011	Sparkling dark ruby with tight dark beige head it looked great. Some hops and fruit on the nose leads to well proportioned flavours. Some fruit, hints of chocolate and liquorice against an top quality malt base. Satisfying long finish. Would have deserved 5* if served warmer. Had to wait 15 minutes for the beer to warm and its true quality appear.

McGargle		01 Oct 2015	At its best this is a deep and subtle beer. This wasn't and seemed poor value at £4.35.
McGargle		12 Feb 2015	Much more depth of flavour than keg versions.

McGargle		27 Jan 2015	Nothing like as rich as previous tastes. More a modest black IPA on this form.

McGargle		04 Jun 2014	Both hoppy and rich - clever trick.
Ray		31 Jul 2013	More choclatey than I remember it seemed a little ill defined and lacking the roasty flavours. Served too warm - could have dragged this down to 2* really.

Stephen Harris		02 Apr 2012	High quality, dark stout with chocolatey and liquorice notes. High alcohol, some roastiness and a little hop character.
