Clean, dark brown colour with ruby-copper highlights, a frothy-creamy beige head, good retention and full creamy lacing. Roasted malt aromas with fresh coffee notes, some molasses and some dark fruits. The mouthfeel is slick and oily with a touch of woody, tart in the finish, with the drying end. The taste is mostly roasted barley, with a blend of dark fruits (plums, dates) and hints of molasses creating a little bitterness. A pretty decent Stout where the oats balance things nicely and smooth. Can from the brewpub.

Can at home in Canaan - picked up from Willey’s. Pours rich brown with a staunch, foamy khaki head. Light-medium sweet flavour with nice mellow roast character, cocoa, earth, dried fruits, a little leather. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, fairly rich, lovely dark malts. Solid.
