16oz can at home courtesy of Rob, big thanks. No visible date. almost black color, medium big dark head. smells earthy, toffee, some spices, light caramel, bit parfumy, pretty nice smell. full body, pearly carbonation. tastes earthy, toffee, coffee, medical, bit pukeish, hoppy, grassy, bit leathery. finishes bit dry and roasty bitter with notes of hoppy notes, earthy and some sour notes. hmm, not that convincing. bit on the sour / dry side, some hoppy notes, flavours all over the place, balance not that great. somewhat drinkable, bit weird.

Enjoyed on tap at Flying Lion. First visit in quite a while. Dense, near black pour with plenty of foam head and lacing. Cocoa like aroma with hints of sweet bready grains and spice. Flavor isna good blend of sweet malt, spicier rye, and milk chocolate. Toasty malt finish. I can see why this brew has stuck around on their taplist all these years. Solid beer here.

Draught at the brewery
Black color with brown head. Good Stout, the rye clearly adds a light spicy touch to the roasty Stout.
Very nice.

Growler thanks to Eugene. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is cracker malt, roast, chocolate. Medium mouth, rich, dark chocolate, bitter, good.

Dull light brown and flat. Fudgey, slightly tobaccoey aroma. Thin, harsh. Husky, not much fun on the palate and the rye is kind of heavy-handed.

On tap at Flying Lion, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is quite earthy, with light roast, a touch of rye, and light spiciness. Flavour is spicy and fruity, with earthy roasted malt, spiciness from the rye, and light berry-like fruitiness. Medium-bodied, robust, but low drinkability due to the rye. Good, just not a fan of the harshness that rye brings.

Draft - Butterscotch, roast malts and an odd sweetness. Deep jet black with a thin head. Dark roast, sweetness and a burnt roast finish.

Flight at brewery. Aroma has a strong caramel character, I don’t want to say flaw but a little too much even for me. Flavor has lots of roast mixed with the caramel and lots of mineral. Lots of malt bitterness. Long dry bitter, burnt black patent.
