Near black with a creamy tan head and roasted malt and a touch of caramel on the nose. Smooth and creamy with roasted malt, a touch of sweetness and some treacle, finishes dry and slightly bitter.

A really lovely low-key stout. Super smooth, balanced dark malts, restrained ashy roast, earth. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Just astoundingly drinkable.

440ml can from M&S in London, England. Pours a pitch black color with a large, dense beige head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Dark roasted malt and chocolate aroma. The taste follows the nose：Very dark roasted malt flavor with chocolate notes and a dry finish. Creamy texture. Super clean and smooth. Excellent stout. Medium body. Low carbonation. Limited dark chocolate bitterness.

Can. Nose is coffee, dark malt, dusty. Taste is tobacco, ash, dark malt, hint of coffee, and a fruity note. A lasting ashy finish. A slick light body.
Nice

Collab between a traditional (19th century) and a postmodern ‘craft’ (21st century) English brewery: something interesting must come out of that. Can from a Marks & Spencer supermarket in Aberdeen. Pale yellowish beige, regular, dense and creamy, membrane-lacing head on a black robe with faint burgundy glow. Aroma of burnt blackcurrants, dry caramel, brown bread crust, charred wood, dried dates, cold espresso, background notes of raisins, salmiak, minerals and haemoglobin (iron). Smooth, clean, sleek onset, some very basic medlar- and dried blueberry-ish fruitiness more related to malts than to esters, dry from the beginning, remaining very low in sweetness with very soft, tiny-bubbled ‘nitro’ carbonation effect and therefore creamy, slick mouthfeel. Dry-caramelly, toasted-brown-bready malt core, quickly turning roasty bitter, supported by wormwoody, rooty hop bitterness, combining into a long, dry, roasty, tonic-, leather- and charcoal-tinged finish, in which a thin trace of dark, bitter, unsugared chocolate lingers. Stubbornly old-fashioned dry stout unrelated to all those sweet (let alone pastry) stout evolutions of the past two decades, this beer is utterly solid, polished, focused and technically finetuned to perfection – I love a stout like this.
