Cask gravity Canterbury beer festival. Aroma of molasses flavour is drier, good mouth feel, finish is dry . It is almost, but not quite there. Chewy malts with some coffee

Very dark brown. Sweetish, roasty aroma. Thinnish body...this always bugs me, but especially in a meaty beer like a stout. Slightly oily, chocolatey. Sweetish finish.

I have heard that this brewery is either closed or closing soon which is a shame. Pours almost black with a medium light brown head. Very thin lacing. Aroma of coffee with underlying chocolate. Body is rather thin with coffee, cocoa and roasted malt flavors. Finish is a little sweet and a little sour. On the grand scale this Stout was not stellar, but I would like to try it again if I can get my hands on any more.

Black, creamy, but no real head. Roasty aroma with hints of sugars. Medium roasty and chocolatey flavor. A smoked quality and some bitterness emerge later in the flavor, which I guess makes it good for having with seafood. A decent sweet stout, but not a great one.

A black beer with a dark brown head - that disappears extremely fast (the fastest I've seen). Second to none aroma - slight hints of smoke. The flavor is strictly opposite. It's smooth with powerful notes of tar, smoke, and rope to start of, then a little thin in the middle (for a stout), but it ends on a smoked dry bitterness. A great stout.
