Pours a dark brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is coffee grounds with some liquorice and ash. Roasted malt and coffee bean taste, bitter dark chocolate, some dark fruit flavours and a roasted finish. Quite a nice stout.

Cask at The George, Croydon. It pours deep brown, with a thick beige head. The nose is coffee, roasted malt, soy sauce and some plastic. The taste is roasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, varnish, leather and milky coffee, with a dry finish. Medium body, low carbonation and soft mouth-feel. An easy drinking stout.
