Brewed with a combination of five different malts, some heavily roasted for a near jet black appearance, Black Cab Stout is 4.2% abv and beneath its dark exterior features luxurious red berry notes, toasty aromas on the nose and culminates in a dry, bitter finish.
Brewed at 4.5% for bottling.

Pint at Heathrow. Looks exactly how you’d want a stout to look, down to the thick creamy head. Not much aroma and the flavour is disappointingly standard. Malt, a bit of chocolate and fruit. Not that rich but it’s smooth and very drinkable. Don’t think it needs serving as cold as I had it.

50cl bottle shared @home. Pours opaque black, with small diminishing off-white head. Medium body for a stout, and the palate is poor for my taste or perception of a good stout. Malty, aromas of roasted coffee beans, grains, burnt caramel. Rich in hops, mostly citrus peels. Not as high in alcohol, fair lacing, bitter aftertaste. I’m used to more complex stouts, but this one didn’t have a special character. Fair but not extraordinary.

Bottle, 500 ml from Pivoljub, Ljubljana. Pours dark brown with beige head. Roasted malts, caramel, light coffee, dark chocolate. Light to medium bodied. Expected a bit more of everything.

Bottle. Black colour, rocky head that disappears rather quickly. Aroma is quite intensive liquorice, a bit roasty. I would expect more coffee and dark chocolate from a stout... Light sweetness. Light body, quite smooth. It’s ok, but lacks character and does not taste like a stout.
