With more than 20 speciality malts, two separate mashes and three oak varieties, this is one of the most ambitious recipes we've ever attempted. Expect caramel, honey, nuttiness, chocolate, coffee and subtle smokiness all coming through with refined depth. Rich residual sugars balance with oak tannins to keep the beer drinkable, moreish and spectacularly flavoursome.

Can from a Waitrose and shared with a good friend at the end of an excellent meal and some great red wine. Lovely pour and a great head courtesy of the nitro. Insane first sip with flavours all over the place, but it quickly settled down into a top, bitter and smooth stout.

Tap at KEG. Pours jet black with no head. Nose is coffee, earthy notes, chocolate, caramel light smoke. Taste is somewhat sweet, boozy with hints of molasses and there are the roasted, earthy, dark chocolate-y and coffee notes to balance it out. Closes with long lasting bittersweet finish, it has a medium body and soft carbonation.

Virtually black with a creamy, light brown head. Aroma is earthy and full of something like smoked chocolate. Interesting, but not exactly enticing. Taste is bitter with a hint of milk chocolate. The rising acidity at the finish keeps it from being truly likable. Full-bodied, mildish carbonation. Overrated for my taste.
