Originally brewed in London England, pre-WW1 for export to St. Petersburg in Russia. A combination of roasted barley, chocolate and black barley gives this beer a rich complex malty flavour.

Blackish dark brown body and small foam. Round motor oil smell, nail polish, vague barley. Flavour is smoky notes on a sweet barley body. Mouthfeelis just too watery for this style which by definition is thick. Some okay elements but ultimately kind of a letdown.

Very dark chestnut brown colour. Raisiny, minty, mincemeaty aroma. Light body for style. Way too light, actually. This would struggle as a foreign stout. Palate of chocolate, diacetyl, toastiness and roast. Drinkable, but too light, too timid for style.
Re-rate, February 2010 @ Alibi. Very dark brown with a thin head. The aroma is chocolatey, ashy, tobaccoey. Chocolatey palate, soft and smooth with smokey tobaccoey nuances. Dessert-like body but a drinkable character.
