Keg at Mad Squirrel HWY, 27/12/2025.
Mahogany brown topped with a lasting beige head.
Nose is biscuit, chocolate, nutty, dried fruit rinds.
Taste comprises mellow roast, cocoa powder, toffee, dried fruit rinds, dark malts.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
Passable stout ... a little thin on flavour for my liking.

Tap at the mad Squirrel tap watford. A jet black coloured pour with a lasting halo of khaki head. Aroma is semi sweet, dark chocolate, smoke, campfire, some toasted nuts, sweetness. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, dark chocolate some smoke, rounded barley, dark toasted nuts, hint of sweetness nicely rounds it out. Powdery finish. Palate is drying, highish carbonation... Not bad. Lingering dark roast and dark chocolate.
