Les choses simples sont parfois les meilleures. Du café et du chocolat en force alliés à un brin de vanille, de fudge et de poivre. C'est plein, propre et efficace en enveloppant superbement le palais. En verre, la robe noire est déjà intense avec une mousse brune d'un mm. Le nez est très expressif sur le café, le chocolat, la vanille et le fudge. La dégustation montre un très bel équilibre sur des arômes très intenses, une amertume conférant ce qu'il faut de fraîcheur et un alcool (7,4 %) très bien intégré. C'est propre et efficace et surtout excellent. (A noter que mon exemplaire est un Buxton Extra Strout)

0.33 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks' as 'Buxton Extra Stout', bottled in December 2017. Pitch black with a large, foamy, stable, brown head. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty aroma of milk cocoa, hazelnut, milk coffee, nougat and a touch of dark fruits. Moderately sweet, malty, quite roasty and a little fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, some hazelnut and a touch of dark fruits, followed by a medium long, rather roasty-bitter, earthy-dry and quite resiny-hoppy finish. Medium to full body, creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Great Stout!

Thnx to Joost. Pours black, good tanned head. Smell is coffee, roast, sharp. Taste is likewise. Very balanced, bitter, some green hops, over a bunch of coffee and roast. Very good example for an international export stout.
