500ml bottle @ Yr Hen Orsaf, Aberystwyth. Pours black with nice tan head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malts. Taste is good, well-balanced coffee & roasted malts. A real hearty, full-flavoured stout this, loved every sip of it.

Bottled. An almost opaque black beer with a rim of brown head. The aroma has strong notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of roasted malt as well as light notes of vegetables, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is light.

Bottle from Bacchus, Crickhowell. Dark, opaque brown with a slight oil slick for a head. Aroma of malty grains, dark chocolate and liquorice. Full, slightly vinous mouth feel. Flavour of chocolate, some roast malts, a hint of sourness and dry finish. Good stuff.
