Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep brown to black. Beige head which is quite proportionate. Nose - more of the smoky malts, molasses and liquorice than the suggested chocolate and coffee notes on the bottle. Taste - burnt toffee, molasses, coffee, tar and a hint of liquorice and herbs. Palate - medium bodied, roasty finish. Decent length. Overall - this should be in Foreign Stout category. I enjoyed it more than others by the looks of things.

Bottle from Garsons Farm Shop. Aroma of coffee and berries. Some liqourice. Dark and glossy if thin looking. The bubbly beige head is short-lived. Medium bitter - coffee and charcoal. Underlying dark berries. At first a creamy sweetness came through but that quickly diminished. Finishes medium-heavy bitter. Medium bodied but there is a lightness to it. Creamy. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Decent enough. Packs a punch but does feel a tad lightweight. Leaves an aftertaste.

Bottle from the bodega enjoyed in the hotel in an attempt to lighten my luggage for the trip home. Dark brown/black in color with a tan head that slowly recedes. Roasty but more earthy with light mineral notes. Caramel and hints of sugar with faint fruit. Decent beer.

19/1/2019. Bottle from Flavourly.com shared at the second Kesgrave 50/50 bottle share. Pours very dark brown with a large off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruit, coffee and berries. Moderate sweetness with medium bitterness and a light tartness. Medium body, slight oily texture, above average carbonation. Roasted finish. Spoilt a bit by the level of carbonation.
