Give yourself to the dark side and allow yourself to be beckoned towards this velvety, silky stout seducer. This dark, devilish enticer has a rich, deep character that packs a chocolatey and nutty hit. Be careful because when you do succumb, it’ll disarm you with its complex flavours swirled up by the moreish malty layers.
Aroma: Roasted coffee, warmed dark chocolate.
Flavour: Black treacle, nuts toasted on the fire, toffee, dark chocolate ganache.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque black, lovely fawn head. Nose - light smoke, blackcurrant, dark chocolate. Taste - more dark fruits, probably plums or even prunes this time. Charcoal and general smoke at the back. Palate - medium bodied, creamy and smoky texture through the middle section. Elegant finish. Overall - good gear!
