Keg at The Old Custom House, Padstow. Aroma of the sea. Lasting nitro foam. Not 100% my style of beer but respect for it's interesting complexity here.

Bottle, 11C. Black, a cm of light tan head. Roast, coffee and light bread aroma, some molasses. Light but creamy. Lots of coffee, more singed sugars than roast, really decisive bitterness at the end. Refreshing, involving.

Nice lower alcohol stout. Nose is coffee, light cocoa, and a hint of vanilla. Flavor is smooth with light bitterness.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle from Waitrose in Totnes. Poured at home in Jersey, it's deep black with a pure white head. Aromas & tastes of chocolate, smoked oak, licorice, coffee & roasted malt. Medium to full body. Smokey malty finish. Very well made & enjoyable
