Night Music is a new series of luxurious stouts. Slightly different from our usual sweet My Continuous Improvement a slightly lighter body and with a dash of Muscovado Sugar for some dark sugar complexity. Expect a punch of alcohol that keeps you alert, balanced by the sweetness of Maple. A slightly more serious Imperial Stout for those wanting to escape the grip of back-to-back Pastry Stouts. Expect cinnamon and nougat on the nose, which evolves into a dark chocolate crunchie bar in liquid form.

440ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, maple syrup. Taste is very sweet, chocolate, maple, caramel, coffee roast, liquorice, moderate bitter roasty finish. Full bodied, smooth, light booze. Not quite as good as the vanilla coconut version for me, but still very nice.

Black and oily. Thick foamy tan head. Aroma has instant coffee with is swepped away by maple. Boozy edge. Flavourwise the maple sweetness floats to the top .underlying molasses and coffee. Into the finish we have a bitter and twisted romance of espresso and booze. Thick bodied. Oily. Average-soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Yummwr. Sweet but still punchy.
