Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 15B). Can 33 cl - Batch L1255 1106 (BB: 0826) AROMA: medium dark malt aroma (roasted coffee, slight dark chocolate). slight metallic background and faint fruity ester. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color and opaque with slight ruby highlights. medium-low light brown head, with low retention. TASTE: initial medium dark roasted malt (coffee-like) with hints of dark dried fruit (prunes) and low dark chocolate. initial somewhat sweet, evolving into medium-high to high bitterness. finishes roasty and dry. MOUTHFEEL: medium body with medium-low carbonation. some astringency from roasted malts. OVERALL: an ok stout.

A dark brown beer with a beige head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, and a light acidity. Taste of rather bitter dark malt with a hint of dark chocolate, a light nutty aftertaste, and sour coffee. Full-bodied with low carbonation. A good stout without any frills.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy black pour with a fast fading chocolate coloured head; chocolate aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a harsh roasted malt taste; and a dry finish. An okay stout, but nothing more.

330ml can from Beer52. Poured into a Gordons thistle shaped glass at home on 4th October 2025 (Grimsby Town won 2 goals to nil in Salford earlier, so kind of celebrating). All dark beers look good in this glass, hence why I use it. Sadly the head on this beer (tanned colour) soon turned into a wisp and collar, even as I write this, haven't even taken a sniff yet. The aroma is chocolate malts, as is the initial taste. Dry, almost bitter dark chocolate flavour, soft and smooth it isn't, more harsh and hard in nature, not unpleasant, but unexpected. Took a while to drink it all, but it grew on me and it's harshness was the main redeeming factor.

330ml can from Beer52. Pours a dark brown with beige to tanned head, and once settled a swirly top of foam. Aroma of roasted malts, black pepper, chocolate, milk, hint of dark fruits. Taste of quite a bitter dark malt with dark chocolate, liquorice, light hint of nuts and sour dark fruits. Medium to full bodied. Good stout.

20й вколлабе. Ну и хватит на сегодня, до новых встреч в Лагоше

Dark brown pour with a stable tan head. Aromas of licquorice, malt, some milk and minerals. Taste is roasted malt and cocoa (almost burned), then milk/cream and licquorice. It grows on you after some sips.
