On nitro tap at McHugh's, pours black with a creamy beige head. Nose brings out dry bready toffee and some light espresso overtones. Flavour is very restrained, with light dry espresso and some cocoa. Very creamy palate and easy to drink. Solid.

Bottle at home from asda. Aroma is dry roast, nutty earthy, some lactose sweet. Flavour is composed of dry chalky roast, mineral, little spicy edge, hint of dark choc. Opaque black caramel coloured pour with a lasting light tan head. Palate is medium light with a little chalky carbonation.

Bottle from Tesco [151213] 4.2%
Very dark caramel brown, off white frothy, bit of lacing. Aroma - slight blackcurrant dark malts, hardly any roast. Taste of light roast, very soft dark fruity malts, some bitter dark chocolate, touch of charcoal. Palate - moderate carb, thin body, some sweetness from the dark malts and soft bitter roast. Finish as main flavour, bit dry, bit of metallic bitterness in the tail, some more roast in the finish. Overall - Not as bitter as some dry stouts. Flavour come across as a bit lacklustre....perhaps the cask beer at a slight stronger abv (4.5%) is better

500ml Bottle: BBD end of Aug 14, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 22nd Oct 13. Thanks to my son-in-law for bringing this back from Belfast for me. Very black (I wonder how they chose the beers name?), with a good and lasting tanned head. Bitter chocolate nose and taste, with treacle hints adding some sweetness in the mouth. I found this both interesting and tasty. Good body depth, if a little too bitter at times as ground coffee beans added their slant onto the already bitter chocolate flavours I’d already en-counted.
