This dark, rich coffee coloured stout is a real treat! W ith a bountiful nose of chocolate, coffee, treacle/caramel and wellintegrated maltiness, this is one for the lovers ofdarker beer. The palate is rich and concentrated without being overly intense, with flavours of sultanas and bourbon biccies!. As itsays on the label, “Silky, Black, Magic!” Stout with style.

Bottle from Cork and Cask. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - not great, soggy bran flakes some metallic element too. No chocolate or roast. Taste - burnt toast and a sour thing. More burnt malt, still looking for the chocolate and any depth of flavour. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy but dank texture in the middlesection and a dry burnt section. Overall - is this as the brewer intended?

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle. Best before November 2015. The beer starts smooth and malty-chocolate-like. Quite sourish-fresh and funky for a stout. And easy to drink for the 7%. Smooth and fruity-deep. Wild berries, fruity sourish hints, chocolate and toffee in the background. Nice fresh and easy to drink fruity aftertaste. Nearly no bitterness there, roasted malt, smooth, warming, great!

The taste is smooth, roasty, coffee, mild acidity, touch of acidity, cocoa, alcohol and some bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Lacking in depth. Kind of expected more from these guys...
