Black with a tan head. Good roasty malt notes, light smoke, dark chocolate, earth, caramel, light licorice. Full, creamy body. Finish has dark roasted malt, burnt coffee, some faint smoke, and a dab of sweetness. It’s a fine stout but doesn’t do much to stand out.

Northern Monk Canned Trio At Home #3 of 3. I thought I'd saved the based for last, with a large blast of chocolate in the initial sips, although its more boozy-sweet character took more hold after this, the chocolate is light but pleasant. Earthy notes are apparent in this enjoyable enough black coloured imperial. By the end of the glass the chocolate was heavy once again.

440ml can from Morrisons. Amazing value! Poured a clear dark brown, almost black colour with a big, lasting, frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, light sweet, with a rich, smooth, roasty, light chocolate, dry, spicy coffee, light boozy, liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation after the initial fizz.
