Large foamy tan head on a near black coloured body.
Coffee malt & some weird chemical aroma.
Medium to full bodied foamy with a creamy & smooth back.
Heavy malt, coffee, chocolate & grape tastes with tangy lightly hopped finish.
Decent

Can thanks to McCash. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of earthy malt, soil, dry cocoa. Odd profile. Heavily tannic. Damp grainy taste, damp basement. It's complex, but I'm not sure it's pleasant.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - mat to jet black and a lovely creamy tan head.
Nose - earthy, iron and burnt bread.
Taste - honey, burnt bread and dry black berries.
Palate - medium bodied, quite gnarly and a long, dry finish. Tannic too.
Overall - a strong dry stout. Challenging but worth persevering with.
