A much deeper and more complex stout than the ABV would suggest arrives with waves of coffee and dark chocolate. Pouring a very dark brown with a crema-coloured foam lacing the sides of the glass there’s a gentle hoppy freshness in the aroma from a dose of Summit hops late in the boil, and this is picked up on the palate too, adding a refreshing modern touch to the classic roasty profile from the blend of malted grains. A helping of oats and a high finishing gravity provide a smooth mouthfeel and satisfying body.

Can thanks to Phil. Appearance - jet black and opaque. Creamy tan head. Nose - rich chocolate and roasted malts. Taste - again roasty, some chocolate and caramel. Palate - surprisingly for the ABV, this is medium bodied. Roasty finish. Overall - pretty impressive!

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep brown to black with an orange chink around the bottom of the glass. Nose - meaty and generally savoury. Light smoke but mainly tar. Taste - tar, edge of blackcurrant and even a bit of liquorice going on. Palate - close to medium bodied, despite the low ABV. Light roasty middle and finish. Overall - really lovely stout.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours black-brown with a tight, creamy khaki head. Lightly sweet with some subtly tangy dark malts, char, ashy roast, raisins, scorched earth. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Further ashy roast in the finish, charred woody dryness, more earth, torched grass, a little cocoa. Not bad.
