750ml bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Clear, chestnut brown. Messy, creamy, tan head that stays the course. Nose has coffee truffle. Fudgy malts. Milky coffee. Dried fruit. Smells great. Taste is light, roast coffee bean bitter. Some chocolate sweetness. Light, vinous tang. Medium body. Soft and foamy carbonation. Finish gets more robust bitter with some earthy, ashy notes. Did the full bottle in no time. Really drinkable.

750ml bottle, shared. Clear, dark brown with a white head. Chocolate malt aroma, taste is roasted malt, bitter chocolate. Expected a bigger flavour, but still enjoyable

Black beer with an off-white head and a light, malty aroma. Flavour is lighter than I expected to. Earthy malt, bitter chocolate, some coffee as well.there’s a bit of fruitiness in the aftertaste too. It’s not spectacular but it’s a good, tasty stout and I could happily sit and have a few (though the 6.5% might be an issue on that front!)
