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.

Taster size glass from tap @ In De Wildeman. Pitch black color. Dense beige head, good retention and some lacing. Aroma’s: chocolate, roasted malts, mocha, a bit vanilla & fruit. Retronasal the roast is much more pronounced and the chocolate all but disappears. Flavor is heavily roasted, light bitter, light sourish (from the roast), light sweet. Medium bodied. Finish is hard roasted malts, long lasting, burnt wood, charcoal, ash, moderate bitterness. Nice, but perhaps a bit too much roast/burn.

Bottle at Buxton Tap House, pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out cocoa, urinal cakes, and roasted malt. Flavour is thankfully better, with none of the urinal cakes, with notes of roasted malt, cocoa powder, and a touch of coffee. Full-bodied, with a roasty finish. Very good stout, not quite as good as Tsar.
