Keg @ Ancient Mariner, Lynmouth. Almost black with a thick smooth off-white head. Smooth tasting and crisp with a light tasting, light aroma stout, but a gritty tasting one.

Pours black as a night, topped with a medium sized creamy head, nicely lasting, beige in colour. Quite noticeable roasted malt aroma with some coffee and a bit of chocolate in the back. Taste is a bit bland - medium bitterness with just slight roastiness. Medium body, very sparkly. Not the best one, lacks something. Still drinkable.
