How did James Cameron bring some light, hope and balance to 1986’s Aliens movie? He added the ‘kid’, ‘Newt’ and her doll ‘Casey’ (although adding a rocking hero like ‘Hicks’ helped!!)…
How did we lighten up this heavy hitting, devoid of all light, dark spiced rum, Xenomorph inspired stout?....we added marshmallows…they were our ‘Casey'

440ml can from Rich's archives, with the understanding this is several years old and past its best. Pours pitch black with a thin tan head. Aroma of oak, rum, dark chocolate. Taste has rum and woody notes to the fore, dark chocolate, the marshmallow and vanilla seems to have disappeared I'm afraid, it's somewhat boozy, but for >10% it's within reason. Full bodied and smooth. Yeah, a bit boozy, and the adjuncts have dissipated, but other than that I'd say it's held up well if you think of it as a non-adjunct stout. Wish I could've tasted it 3 years ago.
