Appearance: dark brown, no head, good clarity
Aroma: nutty, chocolatey, leafy, malty
Flavor: a malty fullness up front with a slight tartness followed by a bloom of caramel and dark chocolate; toasted hazelnuts; mild bitterness; finishes semisweet with a lingering rooty aftertaste
Mouthfeel: medium-full body, very light carbonation, soft texture
Other comments: Not sure if this is a "dud" or if it's supposed to be nearly flat. Either way, it is still quite good, carbonation or not. Will definitely try it again.

On cask at latest 'spoonsfest. Mahogany colour and smoky aroma, perhaps with a hint of liquorice. Sweet treacle flavour becoming tobaccoish with some bitterness to finish. I'm very fond of this.

Being the dork I am I wrote notes down I was sampling at the Singapore Beer Fest. I got some strange looks. Anyway...
A semi dark pour, not black, not brown. A bit odd color, perhaps it was the fantastic plastic mug we were given. Little head, though. Not sure I like that.
Chocolate, figs and some bits of citrus come through in the nose. Some stale coffee as well.
Taste is mostly a bitter with some chocolate added. Seemed thin, but tasted thick. Figs and sweet cocoa try to come through, but the bitters shut it down. A slight citrus tinge in the back. Aftertaste is lean and dry.
Perhaps would have liked another if it weren't, like, 102 degrees outside and humid.
