The dark side of the beer is a pathway to many flavour combinations some consider to be unnatural..."

Peaches, plums, and charred nectarines, all crammed into a deliciously decadent imperial stout made with beech smoked malt for additional complexity.

Suitable for vegans.

Draught Head gone in secs over pitch-black beer. Faint fruity notes on burnt grains. Very sweet roast, meatroast, candied apples, waffle syrup, brown candi sugar, Tarte Tatin. Very stick MF, sugaroverload, in effect no carbonation. A tad too sweet to my liking.

Woof, hello. Sweet and fruity but the little bit of smoke elevates it. Extremely good.

440ml can. Pours almost black with a small brown head. Aroma of plum, peach, molasses. Taste is sweet and fruity, lots of plum, peach, molasses, a little chocolate, what's lacking though is the smoke, there's barely any to taste, certainly doesn't warrant the style moniker given on the can. Still, really nice stout. Full bodied.
