You should feel him coming from quite some distance. His huge shadow enveloping everything around, your bones starting to shiver, pints starting to quiver on your table.
And then you see his immense stature, his bushy, roughly brushed moustache, his big, burly arms with tacky prison tattoos that really aren’t just a fashion statement.
You’ve definitely heard gruesome, violent stories about him.
But don’t be afraid, Pith’s chosen to turn over a new leaf. He pushed aside his fury just to indulge in sweet chocolate bars and fresh, zesty oranges.
A fresh, healthy start!
Just don’t call him “fat”. Trust us. Maybe just… Chunky.
Please?

Bottle. Black colour, frothy head. Aroma is cinnamon, clove, sour green apple, chemicals. Too spicy. Not like an orange chocolate stout! Lightly sour. Light body. Bad.

330ml bottle, thanks to Cez and Chris. Very dark brown almost black with a thick beige/tan head. Aroma is zesty and spicy, orange peel, chocolate, roast malts. Taste is much more of chocolate orange, zesty, spicy, sugar, quite Christmassy actually, roast malts, finish is quite bitter for a "Sweet Stout" considering the sugar and lactose. Nice one though, and good to see Romania x UK collab. Would like to see more of them over here.

Shared at Jim's tasting. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Notes of perfumey oranges, light chocolate, citrus, roasted malts. A bit too perfumey for a stout. Medium body and carbonation and a sweet finish.
