pours clear dark brown, settles very dark brown, smooth but somewhat bubbly slightly fizzy looking light brown head.
roasted and smoked malts, coffee, dark chocolate in the aroma. A light aroma that is quite roasted and fits well with a 5% stout. not milky as some of them are, more dry and roasted, which i like.
flavor is roasted malty, smoked malty, dark chocolate, coffee, quenching in a way bc of the light body and dryness.. long roasted malty aftertaste. leads me to think guinness, but this one is more intense, more flavorful, less dull, yet still feels like a session stout. Good for the style if you want flavorful.

Roasted and sweet dark malty with notes of bitter chocolate, coffee roast, charred burnt brown sugar, nice body and mouthfeel, dry bitter and roasted finish. Flavourful and easy going stout.

On tap at The Kentish Belle, Bexleyheath.
Nose is creamy coffee, chocolate, caramel, touch of smoke. Taste is much the same. Malty sweet & dry with a lightly bitter aftertaste.

A decent guiness-like. Better than the standard we get over here.

taster at Brew York bar at GBBF Winter. Black pour with a flimy tan head. Roasty aroma, bitter. Taste tones down the bitterness for notes of burnt toast and chocolate. Smooth feel.

Hand pumped at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours black, with very fine brown foam. Aroma is earthy, a little nutty. Body is average, with pretty much no carbonation. Taste is nicely roasty, bitter. Final is dry but nutty.

Svart. Mokkafarget filmskum. Beskjeden sjokoladearoma. Smaken kakao & røstet malt. Lett tørr avslutning.

330ml draught at Tromsø Mikrobryggeri. Covering beige head, rich lacing, near-black body. Inviting aromas of roasted dark chocolate malts. Rounded creamy chocolate flavours followed by a smoothly roasted ending. Quite mouthfilling. Tasty, well-made stout. (Tromsø, 14.06.2024).
