Opaque black with red hue, small tan head, vanishes after a while but fair lacing. Aroma moderate roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, dough, brown sugar. Mild bittersweet taste; medium body, thin creamy texture, soft carbonation. Dry and mild bittersweet finish, some roastiness lingers on. Nice stout but lacks a bit real character.

Bottle thanks to Josh. It pours deep brown with a small off-white head. The nose is earthy, toast, cola, brown sugar, ash and light smoke. The taste is caramel, cola, earth, toast, soft roast and brown bread with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Straight-forward stout action.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s in London - big thanks to Josh. Gusher! Pours clear brown with a creamy beige head. The nose has dry chocolate, well toasted brown bread. Light sweet flavor with mellow cocoa, brown bread, slight dry earthy bitterness. Light bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Dry cocoa finish, soft roasted malts, dirt, toast. Mellow but pretty well balanced and tasty.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Jet black and opaque with a short-lived, off-white head. Aroma of prunes, porridge oats and dark chocolate with a slightly roasty edge. Flavour had plenty more chocolate, coffee and a dryish finish with a lactic edge. Good.
