A slow descent into darkness - layered roast, distant echoes of fruit, and a

(Can) A fine looking beer - pours black with big tan head. Pleasant aroma - coffee, roast grain, notes of chocolate. Smooth, medium body, well carbonated. Great taste too. Plenty of bitterness, initially of a coffee, very dark chocolate, burnt sugar ilk, with a hoppy bitterness developing. Dark roast grain and a little dark toffee sweetness and some tart notes. Very enjoyable.

Can. Very dark brown, beige head. Mocha aroma with some earth and spices. A little drier than guessed with roast going ahead of mocha and firmish spicy bitterness. Maybe a little red berry note. There is a definite trend towards stouts without crap in them this winter and I'm happy about it,
