Heavily roasted malts and full bodied taste characterize this darkest of
traditional brews. Martello Stout is uncompromisingly bold like the
unique towers which defended our early maritime shores.

Poured from 341mL bottle. Opaque dark black with nice beige head. Roasted malt, coffee, and some wood aroma. Body is quite light with slightly creamy texture. Light coffee taste, some licorice, feint hint of dark fruit. Flavour seems a little bit thin for a stout overall.

341 ml bottle. Pours a thick black with light tan head. Light aromas of dark chocolate and chalk. Metallic, acidic, and bitter. Not great.

341mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of dry roasted malts, oats, and unsweetened dark cocoa. Flavour is less pleasant, with metallic-tinged dry roasted malt, oats and bittersweet cocoa. There is a bitter, metallic finish that lasts quite a while. Pretty simple and with too many flaws, but drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a opaque black colored stout with a nice foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma is dominated by roasted coffee notes with dry undertones. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some roasted coffee and light black chocolate. Not the most complex beer but well enough brewed and easily drinkable. Body has light creamy texture with good carbonation.

Deep dark reddish black ale with a thin moka head. Light sweet roasted malt with raisiny overtones, vanilla and chocolate. Roasted malts comes out in mouth, with powdery chocolate, light hops in finish, but very little body for a stout. Very decent but thin, leaves you wanting more substance. Bought at Brewery March 2005.

Very dark brown. Roasty stout nose with some late hop. Dry, hoppy stout...the finish is roasty and chocolatey. Perhaps a bit thin but decent.
