Golden naked oats mashed with dark crystal and robust roasted malts create a luscious black brew with a satin smooth finish. Layering UK Target hops in the boil adds a pleasant, earthy complexity while higher fermentation temperatures enhance the overall flavor with fruity esters. An old-world style, done the Green Flash way. Big, bold, flavorful and complex – Double Stout.

330ml bottle from Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours deep black with thin foamy tan head. Aroma is medicinal molasses. Taste is much of the same with additional liquorice and, as such, is not really my kinda stout. Smooth mouthfeel and does grow on me after a while, but essentially not my cup of tea.

12oz bottle from Old Town in Louisville. Poured into a stemmed tulip. Pitch black color with a beautiful milk chocolate head. Nice aromas of coffee, leather and chicory. Creamy mouthfeel with a nice long dry finish. Excellent Imperial Stout.

ABV hides very well on this brew, most noticeable at the tail end with a little burn on the tongue. Inky black body, small creamy beige head. Medium weight body, very slippery. Not as toasty as some, but still very dark tasting (?). Very smooth and drinkable

$2.90 bottle from Wine Warehouse, CHO. Black with a dark brown head. Smells of licorice and chocolates. Thick, rich chocolates in the mouth, hint of metal, hint of fish. Would be an 8 if not for the metal and fish.

Poured from 12 fl oz bottle. Dark black with dissipating tan head. Coffee, a little cream, some mild dark chocolate. Taste has a bit of roast with some sweetness from dark chocolate coming forward. Medium+ body. A very solid beer, but not amazing for the style.

Bottle. Tall Boys Beer Market, Leeds. Clear, dark, cola brown. The light brown head whips up nicely, and gets sticky, and long lasting. Woody, earthy, roast malts. Spicy, ginger hop. Some tar. Leather. Dark chocolate. The aroma is big, but it’s not brassy. It all sits well. Taste is cocoa sweet. Robust, roast bitter, then more sweet on the lips. Smooth, silky, chewy palate. This is lovely, malty, thick, a bit hoppy, and very drinkable. Finishes light, roast bitter. Still has that sweetness on the lips. Bob on.

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a full tan head. Aromas of dry chocolate, heavily roasted malts and ash. Flavor are similar and rich with a little nuttiness. Smooth though not creamy. Nice and easy
