Dark Arts blends four malts and bags of whole hops to deliver a decadently deep and indulgent experience. A luxuriously smooth mouthfeel, is followed by spicy hop notes and full flavours of chocolate, liquorice, blackberries and figs. The finish is rich and satisfying with a lingering roasted bitterness. Our stout will convert you to the dark side.

Can from BBC Tescos, Reading. Brown-black with a yellow-tan. Nice frothy fizz and a rich mouthfeel. Starts off well with lots of chocolate and some black coffee. A hint of blackcurrant is also encouraging. But the finish is just to burnt and bitter for my tastes; acrid burnt malt, coffee grounds and a touch of plastic. Not for me this one.

Can: Poured a black color stout with a nice large dark foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with black chocolate notes is interesting. Taste is also a mix of roasted malt with some black cholate notes and light residual sugar notes are faint. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Solid stout with plenty of flavours.
