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.

Bottled (from Beers of Europe, has at Chris O Pst GBBF Tasting). Deep ruby/black colour, small brown head.. Aroma is caramel, some roasted malts and mild notes of coffee. Flavour is rather sweet dark dry fruits along with some roasted malts, coffee and even mild alcoholiclike sweetness. Rather nice.

Bottle passed onto me by Craig, cheers mate. I drank this at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours black with a beige head. Some streaky liquorice, dark chocolate hit me first. This is an enjoyable beer but at times I found this just a little thin and watery.

Bottle at YNWA, Kolding. Black, clear-looking beer with a nice beige head. Roasted malt, chocolate, some rauchbier-like smoke and mocha in the aroma. The flavor is smoked too, sure on the malty side, some roasted malt, and even a little fruityness. The finish is almost missing, meaning it’s weak, with roasted malt, chocolate and sweetness. Medium body. Sure a quaffable beer, easy to down, but if it weren’t for the smoke, it would be just another stout. (080229)
