English pale and roasted malts give a rich, full body to this strong stout. The alcohol and high finishing gravity create a sweetness balanced with the bitterness from the high alpha English Admiral hops. Dark chocolate, coffee, black treacle and hints of Bourbon Oak. Unfined.

CAN shared in London - picked up at Eebria. Pours black-brown with a frothy, beige head. Nice roast in the snout, torched marshmallows, dried dark berries, earth. Medium sweet flavour with ashy bitterness, baking cocoa, leathery berries, suggestions of tang. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Finishes with some bittersweet ash and baking cocoa, more dark and lightly tangy berries. Not bad, really.

Can from Fuggles Beer Cafe Tonbridge and drunk at home. Black beer lasting tan head. Some liquorice on aroma. Not a lot of barrel ageing aroma. In the mouth there is more liquorice, chocolate, something that may be whisky. Not sure what whisky it is. A little tangerine orange so perhaps it is Speyside. Some charcoal. Easy enough to drink, good mouthfeel, hides ABV well. Decent.
