500ml can. Spotty lacing from a tiny fawn-coloured head, ruby-black body. Promising aroma of smoothly roasted earthy chocolate malts. Malt-driven taste of nuts, chocolate and oats, hints of dark fruits as well. Roasted dark malty finish. Drinks well. Nice stout version (Hotel room, Brighton 26.08.2026).

Can ordered from the brewery. Aroma has chocolate, dusty coffee. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head. Initial bitterness which matches the Aroma. Followed by a tangy berry streak. Underlying molasses hints. Medium bodied. Oily. Average-soft carbonation..Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hmmm... I guess they were trying to pump in flavour but it's somehow a bit OTT for me. A bit ick.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Pours dark with a tan head. Crackin. Excellent flavoursome stout for the strength, nicely rich with a piney hop presence. Very good

Deep dark brown, near black, with a frothy tan head and a big fruity nose. Sweet dark fruit up front, some sweet coffee notes before a very slightly bitter finish
