The first Faithless this year (XVII), is a beetroot stout. I love the flavour of beetroot, it works very well with chocolate so we’ve produced a fairly straightforward stout base and added the beetroot at different stages, so far the boil and fermentation, I am pretty sure I’m not going to add any in cask. The beetroot has given the beer an interesting hint of purple and a lovely earthy depth of flavour.

Almost opaque brown beer, thin pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry. Modest carbonation. Mellow dark malts with a whisper of coffee. A mild touch of beetroot, slightly fruity beetroot. Trace of smoke before a semi dry finish. It’s all a bit light but amusing!

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy dark brown to black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty and chocolate. Bitter, toasted malty and dry chocolate. Bitter and dry malty, chocolate into a mild herbal and dry finish. Roasted dark chocolate beer. Not much beetroot, perhaps a vague citric note.

330ml Bottle - Black in colour. Coffee, plain chocolate, roasted malt and a hint of milk in the aroma. Salt liquorice, roasted malt, plain chocolate, coffee and some slightly smoky notes all feature in the roasted and slightly sweet taste. I am not really picking up the beetroot, but it’s interesting all the same.

Bottle at home, 10th march 2013, still freezing here, so went for a big stout night Sunday, this is number 2. Pours flat, no head or carbonation, black, aroma is stouty, taste is full on beetroot, a little weird, I like it, but would not rush back for more
