500ml bottle take-out from the brewpub. Pours dark with a decent pale tan head. Aroma of robust roast, dark malt. Flavour profile builds on this with additional espresso and bitter dark chocolate, with a solid roasty bitter close. Nicely flavoursome stout.

4/3/2023. Bottle bought at the brewery. Rutland rating #50. Pours close to black with quite a large frothy pale tan coloured head. Aroma is roasted malt, dark fruits, caramel, berries, malt loaf, slightly ashy and waxy. Medium sweetness, with moderate but developing bitterness. Moderate body, oily, average to soft carbonation. Decent enough modestly abv'd stout.
