500ml bottle from B&M. Pours clear dark brown, small beige head, no retention. Aroma of light roasted malts, dark chocolate, caramel, lactose, grassy hops. The body is light to medium. Flavours are all there, maybe slightly thin but there is a nice bite in the finish. Its a decent sessionable beer.

Bottle from B&M Bargains, Rochdale. Dark amber with a bit of a glow. High on traditional ale character, low on actual stout character, given that's what it is described as, and certainly not milky. Very mildly sweet, it's fair but passable.

500ml bottle: BB 31st July 2022. Drank at home on 29th March 2022. Dark brown body, clean and clear, slight red hue to the colour. off-white affair on top. Smooth easy drinking malty Stout, nothing outstanding or different in it's aroma or flavours, just a pleasant unassuming beer.

[50cl bottle from B&M, Reading.] A dark tawny brown pour with a loose beige head; toffee aroma; sweet caramel malt taste with a lactic body; then some chocolate and toffee to finish. Very drinkable, but not really a stout.
