Delicious malty, caramel and liquorice flavours combine wonderfully in a smooth drinking velvety, oatmeal stout with a freshly roasted coffee and toffee finish.

(Cask at HBF2015) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had burnt malts, molasses and earth. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were malts, burnt malts, sweetness, earth and bitterness. Aftertaste was smooth and bitter. A tasty roasty cask ale.

Flaske 500ml. Gave fra Rune. Drukket i Skibotn 14 Mar 14. Svart. Middels høyt mokkafarget skum som daler sakte. Bra aroma av sjokolade. Smaken melkesjokolade med litt lakris i ettersmaken. Et behagelig øl. Veldig bra ut fra styrken.

Well-kept half pint on cask at the Silk Mill in Derby. Bubbly beige head to a jet black body. Nicely roasted dark malty nose. Vanilla sweet chocolate and raisin to the taste buds offset by bitter coffee grounds towards the finish. Pretty good (21.02.2015).
