A dry hopped brown stout with a creamy tan head. Look out for smooth roasted malts, chocolate and liquorice on the palate. A perfect sneaky wee session stout.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden on 17th August 2014. Black with light tan foam and initial lacing. Richly roasty aroma with delicate spices. Roasty in-mouth with burnt malts and a citric tanginess. Tangy citrus finish with intense roast malts. Delicious.

Cask, Bodega, Newcastle. Black looks with a wee tan head . Nose had notes of choc, roast and hop . Flavour was on similar lines and had some robust dark malts leading to some hop bitterness towards the finish. Hard to fault. Tasty stuff.

Cask at Moorings, Aberdeen. It pours very dark brown, with a medium beige head. The nose is rather soft, roasted malt, toast, charcoal, liquorice and dark chocolate. The taste is roasted malt, coffee, light ash, tar, soft dark fruit, faint liquorice, dark chocolate, earth and some astringency, with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and mouth-feel. Well-balanced, flavoursome and rather drinkable.
