Bottle shared in London - thanks to David. Pours clear deep reddish brown with a small, foamy tan head. Mellow ashy roast in the nose, ripe berries, burnt toffee. Medium sweet flavour with mellow roast, burnt toast, a little dry cocoa, leathery berries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced in the finish with lightly tangy dark fruits, chocolate, dry roast, earth. Good one.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Black body with a beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of cherry, Coco Pops and charred wood. Flavour of cherry, dark chocolate and a hint of marzipan. Thin to medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. Flavoursome and interesting but a little thin.

500ml bottle from Appellation Wines, Comely Bank. Pours near black with no head. Aromas of cherry and chocolate. Taste is more chocolate, faint sour cherry. Sweet cakey notes, although that might be the power of suggestion. Creamy texture, nicely balanced finish.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. There’s an olive sheen to the black. Nose - creamy chocolate but the cherry is more evident. Taste - creamy chocolate with a coconut base note. Lightly sour cherry again. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long elegant finish. Overall - lovely smooth stout. Perhaps a porter, in fact.
