Full-bodied and smooth, our Export Stout has a slightly roasted malt aroma with a delightful coffee and dark chocolate flavour. It was first brewed in 1929 and was brought back as part of our Heritage Series. The new packaging was inspired by the crowns of English monarchs from the Tudor period to the end of the English monarchy – with the overturned crowns representing Lady Jane Grey and Charles I.

473ml can. Pours a hazy dark brown with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted grainy malt, toffee, molasses, dark fruit and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, fig, dark chocolate, molasses and earth in a dry, mild bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Being a macro, I wasn't expecting much, but this was actually flavourful and well made.

Enjoyed at family's place. Pours a clear deep brown colour, not quite opaque black. Light brown frothy head. Aroma's are roasted, licorice root, sweetish, berries. Retronasal it's sweetish, chocolate, drop. Flavour is moderate sweet, moderate roasted bitter. Light medium bodied. Finishes with berries and chocolate, moderate bitter. OK.

Can that pours a deep copper colour with creamy beige head, very good retention and full sticky lacing. The nose is quite sweet over some grainy cereal malts, toasty ones and molasses. The taste is pretty rich as well, but at least it has some decent hops in the finish to help things not be too sweet. A bit like apples and molasses, coffee notes. Still, not one to go back to as missing finest.

This stout poured a deep brown colour with a big, creamy, tan coloured head. Decent lacing. Scents include caramel, dark toast and a little coffee. First swig was better than expected. Flavours of caramel, a little Melloid cough candy, coffee and burnt toast. Finish had a flavour of molasses and coffee lingering.

Part of their small batch series. Moosehead London Stout was actually brewed for quite a while until some time in the late 80s. I'm not sure how faithful this beer is to that recipe. Medium brown. The aroma has dark fruits, light toastiness, and maybe a bit of butteriness. On the palate, has some toffee notes, touch of roast. Finishes sweetish, lagery, and again with a dark fruit note. Not sure what the abv is on this, but it's probably over 6% anyway. Seems like a richer version of the old Labatt Guinness, Champlain Porter or something like that - but better.

Crowler - Sweet and dark fruit, molasses and dark malts. Jet black brown with a nice beige head. Dark roast, nice toffee sweetness and a long bitter sweet finish. Sweet but quite nice.
