You’ve struck Black Gold and you won’t be disappointed with this rich and smooth liquid. Not too bitter and just the right amount of sweetness.

A beer that lives up to its name, SIBA UK Supreme Overall Bottled Beer Champion for 2013!

This wholesome stout has a rich dark colour and nutty roast flavour. No less than four colours of malt make up the grist! A smooth sweetness leads to a dry finish and a satisfying after taste.

Musta olut kohtalaisella, kivasti pitsiä jättävällä beigellä vaahdolla. Tuoksu herkullisen kermainen, maitokahvinen, paahteinen sekä maitosuklainen. Maku jatkaa samalla linjalla ollen pehmeän kermainen, maitokahvinen, paahteinen ja suklainen sekä jälkimaultaan vielä paahteisuus korostuen. Keskitäyteläinen suutuntuma ja todellinen jymy-yllätys prosentteihin nähden! Loisto-ostos!

50cl bottle from Marks & Spencer, Camberley. An opaque peaty brown pour with a large tan head; caramel aroma; quite lively with a smooth creamy texture that coats the mouth, dry with a taste of well roasted barley and some milky oats; then a nutty caramel finish. A solid and satisfying milky stout.

500 ml bottle, from Matkroken Stokka. BB date 28. April 2014. ABV is 4.4%. Black colour, moderate but lasting tan head. Sweetish malty and lightly roasty aroma, more malts and caramel than coffee, also notes of chocolate and vanilla. Smooth flavour, delightful lightly roasted quality malts, some sweetness but not too much, notes of chocolate, toast and mild coffee, moderate hops. Definitely a beer I’d buy again.

500ml bottle. Impenetrable black with a lively off white head that fizzed away. Roasted malt and coffee aroma. Taste is similar with a hint of liquorice. Bit thin, perhaps, and taste/aroma could both be stronger, but still nice

Roasty dark malty, fruity and herbal aroma, notes of dark berries and corresponding shrubs, hints of salty ashes. Taste is roasty dark malty, salty, very subtle sweetness, notes of coffee, roasted barley. Good.
