500ml bottle: BB17th Jan 2020. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 30th June 2019. Thin wispy head on a weak and thin dark body. Thought this watery and lacking in depth for a Stout. Mild chocolate notes but no oomph at all.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep brown with amber chinks. Thin but attractive head. Nose - caramel, light tar and a hint of nuts. Almost more treacle than molasses. Taste - treacle sponge then toffee that's slightly burnt. Palate - medium bodied, sweet and crunchy through the middle. Dry crunchy finish. Overall - good stuff.
