Rich and dark with notes of toffee, the recipe for this indulgent coffee stout is one of our most closely guarded secrets.

[50cl bottle from my local Waitrose.] A shiny opaque black pour with a trace of pale tan head; aroma of chocolate syrup; taste of strong sweet coffee; then a slightly drier finish with some maple syrup. Too sweet for me.

Bottle. Dark brown, a near cm of beige head that lasts indefinitely. Aroma of caramel syrup, some coffee, even less roast. A little less sweet than suggested by the aroma with roast, coffee and a drying note that suggests maple syrup. Modest bitterness. Complex and pretty good but maybe a little sweet for me.

Large rocky white head left a froth in a dark reddish brown coloured body.
Coffee, chocolate & tiramisu aroma - smells a bit fake TBH.
Medium bodied, smooth with a cloying back.
Chocolate, coffee & sweet concentrated berries with an overly sweet finish.
Tastes completely fake with the added flavourings - very poor from this excellent brewery.
