Oats are used in the grist of this beer to give body and smoothness, enhancing the roasted barley, giving it complex flavours reminiscent of dark chocolate and coffee.
This is balanced by a fresh hop bitterness and dry silky finish.

Rocky tan head stayed on a dark brown body. Sweet malt, liquorice & berries aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Liquorice, malt, roasted & berry tastes with a bitter fruity finish. Decent Stout.

25/7/2020. Bottle from Beer Cockermouth (beergb.com), and shared with the SHIG at our second Cumbrian bottle share. Pours dark chestnut brown with a bubbly/frothy beige head. Aroma of light roasted malt, dark chocolate, toffee, coffee, oats and touch of liquorice. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium to full body, smooth creamy texture, soft carbonation. Dark chocolate, fruit finish. Decent.

Deep brown pour with a fizzy tan head. Very thin watery body with harsh carbonation. Chocolate, light roasted malt, some molasses in aroma. Similar flavor. The body is way too thin to support this brew. Ok at best.

On cask at Black Bull Coniston - Jet black body, thin tan head. Nose is roasted grain, bit of porridge, hoppiness there too. Taste is similar, nice burnt bitter finish. Not bad.

Bottle from Booths, Settle. Black, no head. Quite a light tasting stout with a medium body, it does however have some roasted malt evident.
