Keg at the source. It pours darkest brown. To black with a small white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, dark roasted malt, liquorice, coffee grounds, chocolate cake and treacle. The taste is dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet, plain chocolate, chocolate bourbon biscuits, malt loaf touch of umami/liquorice and coffee grounds with a dry roasted finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Rounded and quaffable. Decent stuff.

On tap at Uilebheist taproom, Inverness Wednesday 27th March 2024. Pours black with a beige head, toasty, roasty and a nice dose of liquorice. Soft mouthfeel, it's nice, just a little bit too cold. Another 3.4

Legit great! Classic RIS but more of a Euro version, thicker and more complex than many UK stouts. Chocolate, espresso, biscuit.
