Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured a pitch black with a frothy light brown head. Aroma is strong booze, molasses, malts. Taste is dark fruits, alcohol burn, coffee, chocolate. Tingles to the finish.

10/5/2020. Can from The Ale House, Chelmsford. Pours rich and thick, very dark brown with a modest tan colour head. Aroma of chocolate, molasses, roasted malt, toffee, coffee and light ash. Initial bitter roasting, which gives way to a long sweeter, cloying finish. Full bodied, thick and sticky, very soft carbonation. Ticks a lot of boxes for me this one.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Bottle Apostle. Pours deep brown with a foamy, beige head. Nice throwback kind of impy stout, lots of strong ashy roast, woody dryness, baking cocoa, charred sugars, earth. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, more strong dark malt character, ashy roast, bitter chocolate. Good stuff.
