Bitter but not heavy on the bitter side, the roasted barley and chocolate malt show the nicest side of cocoa coffee and barley bitterness. With a medium body, a bit of herbal and black currant flavour provided by the hops.

330ml can via Beer52: Fifth beer in a mini tasting session with myself, while Margie is out on 10th February 2026. Poured into my Gordon thistle shaped glass early evening (she's been out since 14:00). Viscous black body with a fizzing beige head that disappeared before I finished writing this!. Chocolate malty nose and taste, nice depth of flavour for a 6% ABV Stout, pity about the head. Liked it.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy inky black pour with just a trace of translucent head; rich blackcurrant aroma with traces of coffee and chocolate; quite watery in the mouth with an immediate savoury smoky taste, then some blackcurrant emerges; the finish is long with more currants and some earthy malts. A smooth and elegant stout, but needing a bit more life in it.
