Sweet but not cloying, this is a really enjoyable stout with notes of coffee, cherry and honey, but it's the toast finish that really makes it.

Poured up on tap at RBWG16 where it exhibits a nice inky black body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up burnt chocolate brownies, dark roasted malts and then chocolate bar toward the end of the draw. Nice! The taste is similar as I get dark roasted to burnt malts and then a chocolate brownie sensation. Wow, this is smooth and rich and deep. Terrific sipper.

Draft - Big roasty notes off the bat. Jet black with a decent beige head. Roasty and ticks all the boxes of the style. Solid.
