Classic, traditional stout. Complex taste with a rich and full body. Crisp, with a full bouquet of spices, fruit and floral aromas.

Cask-conditioned at the White Lion, Bristol 1/03/10. Jet black with a light, off-white head. As other shave said, this was hard to categorise: there was a slightly creamy edge to everything, balanced by a touch of roastiness, with chocolate, coffee and a trace of sourness lurking in the background. Unusual.

Cask@GBBF2009. Quite much pitch black colour with small beige head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, some mild liquorice as well as mild spicyness. Flavour is bready, nutty, coffeeish, liquorice and also has a bunch of wood and toffee in it. Very pleasant.

[i] [b] Cask conditioned at FFTMC, Oxford 24-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours black with off white creamy head. Aroma was the one thing that I think was lacking in this beer maybe some roasted notes but very subtle. Good woody roastedness with some residual sweetness in there, quite simple but quite nice.
