A rich and robust stout. The addition of black treacle gives intense depth and roasted malts impart a coffee flavour. Generous amounts of hops add a dry citrus finish to this complex black ale.

RBESG08 grand tasting. Yes, it’s a bit gingery. Not a great stout. A bit warm by the time I got to it. Gingery/spicy and not great. 2.5/5 Re-rate Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2008. Black colour with no real head. OK thickish stout. Its quite tasty, good Ossett beer, nice oilyness. Good depth of flavour, nice grain.

Bottled at RBESG. Mahognay colour, small head. Aroma of molasses and caramel. Medium sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. A bit salty, xome apples to go with all the molasses. Short finish with mild caramel but low bitterness.

[i] Cask at The National Winter Ales Festival, Manchester 18-01-07 [/i] Pours dark brown with molasseses, burnt wood and some coffee on the nose. First taste made me think of syrup more than treacle but with perseverance I suppose I could get the treacle helped probably by the aroma this was a bit fruitier than I had expected, quite enjoyable.

Bottle at home ... deep red brown ... nice faom head ...lots of roast fruity malts and no doubt of the treacle, which adds a lovely extra dimension to the nose .... Mouth feel is a bit thiner than expected ... sweet herby tones with some caramel tones ... little bitterness ... little drying little blackcurent, but its the overwhelming herby medicinal tones that unbalance this beer. THe lovely aroma pushes this beer to a pip or two higher than i think it deserves. But actually on drinking rest of bottle it the herbyness mellows a bit and in fact uprate from 3.0 ->3.3
