Got a small glass of this from a bottle a friend brought back from England. Dark black, standard stout appearance. Smell of strong black pepper and nothing else, not good. The flavor was pure black pepper, overwhelming and disgusting. This was one of the worst beers I have tasted in my life, so bad.

On cask at W J Kavanagh's, Dublin.
Ruby-tinged pitch black with steady sepia froth. Strong deep nose: oily coffee bean, smoked fish, charcoal and treacle.
Maybe some peppery spice up front, then tar, black miso, fish sauce, some ash and a roughly acidic, almost solvent ending.
Ouzo ending and lean linger. Medium with plenty of chew.
The cask kicked directly after my glass, and this gets talked about as Spire's best, so I suspect I was drinking the dredges. Nevertheless, there's little sign of roast, hops or even pepper, and way too much acidic black malt. The whiff of turpentine (where the bottom of the barrel comes into play, I think) sure doesn't help. I have trouble seeing where this was ever a good stout.
Hard work.
