Bought from local supermarket, drank at home. A good London Stout, quite a strong hoppy finish. I will miss drinking stout when spring arrives but hope to get a few more in before the cold weather ends.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso liquirizia, orzo tostato e caffè. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color ocra resiste poco. Le bollicine sono grandi. Il liquido è di colore come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta note di miele, caffè, liquirizia, nocciola e frutta secca.

Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, sweet chocolate, some coffee notes. Flavour is medium sweet with a medium bitter finish. A bit on the thin side. An enjoyable, easy to drink Stout.

Bottle from Morrisons, online at 4.5%. A great source for picking up traditional ales at £1.50 in UK and greater selection than in store. Pours black with small beige head, nice retention. Aroma is roasty, some chocolate, nuts, light coffee. Taste is the same with a light fruity berry note in the middle. Nice smoothness and carbonation to this. A very well balanced stout with a very good mouthfeel for the ABV. Arguably straightforward in flavour but it has all the elements you expect in a good stout. Enjoyed it.
