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.

Bottle: Literally black, mid-sized fluffy tanned head, distinctive roast-malty nose with traces of milk-chocolate and a tinge of black-currant; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, soft MF, light bodied; a mix of roasted malt, fruits and some hops in the finish, accompanied by a light acidity. Good, plesant stuff........

Bottle at home ... Deep solid black ... light chocolate and malts...very coffee ... huge ammount of roast malts... very smooth very well balanced... This is one of the UK ales that i think the scores doesnt reflect just how good a pint this is.

Black, but with a brown-red shine; collapsing, very coherent dark-beige head. Rich, bready, liquorice-tinted stout nose. At the same time, some fresh greenery & cypress aromas, gingerbread. Initially dry, ashy, stout taste with some liquorice (not much, thanks); rather long lingering flavours. Rather sweet after a few sips. Remains roasty, throughout, near burnt. Medium bodied at best, a bit thin. Considering its modest ABV, more than decent stout.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Black colour with pale brown frothy head. Roasted nose with notes of chocolate, coffee, liquorice and something slightly smokey, tarry hanging in the background. Roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, moccha, blueberries and some tarry hints of liquorice. Some lactose sweetness. Very tasty, but the low abv and velvety body makes it very smooth and enjoyable. A really nice stout.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Opaque very dark brown. Aroma of milk chocolate and coffee. Medium sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Strong flavour of cocoa powder. A fairly light, but pleasing, stout.
