This deliciously dark oatmeal stout is brewed with a combination of dark malts, roasted barley and oats to give complex roasted flavours and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Brewed in honour of Jack Black, the mysterious cobbler of Llareggub, this is the latest in our range of Dylan Thomas inspired beers.

Full pint, from cask at The Blackfriar pub. Good looking with a lasting, tan-coloured head leaving firm lacing behind. Dark coloured body with a deep ruby tint. Dark malty aroma added by resin. Roasted dark chocolate flavour mixed with resinous hops. Dry malty bitter round off. Easy to drink and easy to like (London on Halloween 2012).

Cask, handpump, The Crown, Oxford, Friday 14th September 2012 Very dark brown, with a slight reddish hue. Roasty in the mouth but also a little thin and watery. Nothing particularly wrong with this other than it needs more oomph. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours dark amber, cloudy and with a nice head. The nose has chocolate biscuits against a background creamy note. The taste has more of the same and going into caramel and it’s much creamiier too. The palate is medium bodied with a big crunchy/creamy texture and a nice finish. Overall, a decent stout which heads slightly towards a bitter in some ways..
