This 7.4% stout is called Stronge Extra Stout in the UK and was originally brewed as a celebration one-off brew to celebrate the arrival of Buxton’s new brewer Colin Stronge, we liked it so much it's now a permanent addition.

Fun fact: It is not allowed to use the word Stronge in the United States because it implies that the beer is high in alcohol as opposed to the brewer’s last name.

On tap at Craft room, Zagreb. Black with nice brown head. Chocolate, coffee, loads of cocoa, nice soft roastiness, light sweetness, lasting bitter finish. Maybe just a bit too much of that bitterness. Dry. Dense with solid thickness. Medium bodied. Well this is great, really nice surprise.

Tap at Craft Room. Pitch black, creamy tan-brown head. Lovely full chocolatey and dry malty aroma, cocoa, wow. Silky soft taste, dark chocolate on chocolate on more chocolate, lean, no alcohol, vague vague bitterness, fantastic. Just fantastic. Hats off Buxton, two world class stouts out of two.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; dark brown almost black pour with thin tan head, big roast malt and chocolate aroma, roast malts and chocolate come through in the taste along with bitter expresso coffee, a hint of vanilla and demerera sugar sweetness, along with a viscous mouthfeel, excellent stout, big bold and complex.

From keg at Port Street Beer House, Manchester, with OGJ 07.01.18. Ebony. Diminsihing brown head. Dense and persistent lacing. Excellently balanced aroma and taste of pine, rosted barley, tar and cigar box. Pine bitterness is lingering on.

Bottle from John's Marketplace. Only listed as Extra Stout. Pours a pitch black color with a medium brown head. A huge roasted malt and toffee nose. The aroma is so amazing it just sets it all up. Huge roasted malt metallic flavors, dark fruit, prunes, caramel and toffee. Damn good. This is one of the best tasting beers I've had. Perfect roast. The best Impys are like this but so big that it can't be everyday. This could be. Lovely. Great slick palate. Wow.

Bottle 33 cl. Comes as "Winter Stout". Pours an opaque black with a dense, light brown head. Super intense aroma of English licorice and a little bitter chocolate. Rich, full, sweet body of slightly salty licorice notes, medium roast. Vague hint of coffee. A little roasty bitterness. Excellent Stout, for lesser breweries this could pass as an Imperial Stout. 051217

330ml bottle as Winter Stout, thanks to Finn for sharing. Espresso head leaving crocheted lacing behind. Jet black body. Mid-sweet cocoa flavours with a vanilla touch. Nicely roasted malty flavours with impacts of cocoa, chocolate and dark fruits. Mid-dry malty bitter end. Good depth and good drinking. (Rating session at Finn’s, Tromsø 18.05.2017).

Flaske 330ml fra Systembolaget Stockholm - Vasagatan. Delt med Rune på Nerstranda 18 Mai 17. Svart. Høyt tett mokkafarget skum. Aroma av sjokolade & lakris. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken sjokolade, lakris, røstet malt med en ettersmak av mørke plommer. Varer lenge. Balansert & behagelig øl. Pikant tørr etter hvert. Toppøl!
