A rich malty porter with a medium body and a bittersweet after taste.

500ml bottle from St Davids Food & Wine shop. Pours murky brown. Strange fruity, malty flavours. Definitely not a stout by any stretch. Some chocolate perhaps but a rather muddled flavour. Not diggin this I have to say.

Bottle courtesy of Baz (cheers Baz!) consumed at Isobels, Eardisley, Herefordshire Tuesday 31st December 2013 (New Years Eve) Pours dark brown, a chocolatey, coffee rather thin beer for the abv. I cannot say that I was that fussed, it was ok. Hadn’t realised it was a stout, not sure it came across as a stout. A5 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 2.9

500ml Bottle conditioned: BBD 4 Aug 2013, poured into Gwaun Valley brewery badged pint sleeve on 14 Jun 2013. Brown body: not as dark as most Stouts, but dark enough: on top a thin off-white collar and wisp. I like a full head on my UK beers. Nose was weak: some malts but not much. The taste was better than the smell: chocolate malts to the fore with mild coffee notes. A bit watery in the body for a Stout, the alcohol however is well hidden and the beer is easy to drink. Semi-sweet with a subtle bitterness towards the end of each sip. A little too close to ’home brew’ for me.
