A Scottish stout with a wonderful rich dark colour. A smooth full bodied beer with subtle bitterness giving way to late sweetness and underlying roast barley hints.

Svart med høyt lys brunt skum som legger seg for fort. Lukter kaffe og melkesjokolade. Tynn med lett bitter og søt smak. Medium kullsyre.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Dark brown to black color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, lightly roast, lightly liquorice, a bit weird. Average to medium carbonation. Don’t like it.

Cask - Dark roast malts, sweet dark chocolate. Jet black with a reasonable head. Sweet dark chocolate and a long finish. Pretty good.
