Bottled and pasteurised version. The truth of this legend will never be known, however, it is irrefutable that the Dark Dunter is bursting of oatmeal and chocolate aromas, complemented by dark roasted malts and a rich aftertaste.

Bottle from Morrisons. Dark ruby with a thin beige head that slowly fades. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of biscuit and oats. Flavour of caramel and wood. Thin body with a watery texture. Light fizz. Earthy and rich. A thicker body and this would be pretty special.

(bottle, 4.8% abv) Dark brown, almost black colour with a beige and medium-sized foamy head. Roasty malty with notes of ground coffee and dark chocolate. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Roasty and slightly smoked malty taste with hints of coffee, dark chocolate; dry and mildly roasty bitter finish with a delicately tartness and notes of coffee in the aftertaste. Pleasant. 16.II.18

Pours dark brown from the bottle. A creamy tan head lingers for much of the duration. Aroma is toast, chocolate, caramel, light berry hints, but on the whole subdued. Taste has a mild toast bitterness up front, then turns bittersweet almost immediately, with caramel and brown sugar accompanying the toast notes. Finishes much the same but a hint of berries and a touch sourer. Impressive range and depth for a beer of this ABV. Classified as a stout but feels more like a cross between a stout and an ESB, with more emphasis on the latter. Body stays fairly light, carbonation is moderate. Overall, a pleasant surprise and sessionable. Would like to have a few on tap.
