Black Stout. A hearty, pitch black beer full of malty complexity. Very smooth, with a hint of Old English Toffee.

10/4/2026. Cask at the Isle of Man CAMRA 13th Beer & Cider Festival. Great pour. Lovely cider toffee, chocolate, caramel, crunchie bar aroma. Really doesn’t follow through on the taste. Cloying sweetness and ashy bitterness. Surprisingly watery. A beer of two halves.

Keg, half-pint in the Organ Grinder, Loughborough on 20th January 2025. Black bodied, tanned crust. Malty and sweet, almost like a liquid Crunchie Bar. My sweet tooth took to it.

330ml panda from LCB. Poursa black with small beige to tanned head. Aroma of dark malts, sweet crunchie bar, toffee. Taste of roasted malts, sweet toffee, chocolate, burnt honeycomb. Medium+ bodied, sticky, low carbonation, roasty bitterness. Sweet, rich and bitter. Maybe too rich although the flavours are good. More of a sipping type beer despite the strength.

Oldham Beer Festival 2024. Black in colour, has lots of caramels with a very tasty dark malt infusion. Autumnal and similar to a Cadbury's Crunchie Bar confectionery. Quite rich
