14th July 2008. Dark ale. More porter than stout. Very mildy toasted malt. Tangy sour fruit. Dry finish with light smoke. A light touch all round.

[i] [b] Bottle courtesy of Craig cgarvieuk Cheers mate! [/i] [/b] Poured dark brown verging on black with a nice tan head. Aroma was a great rush of chocolate with some malt. Nice roasted malt taste quite understated, some dryness, but very moreish, chocolate was there along with some elements of coffee, I really liked this little beauty.

Very dark brown color, small off-white head. Aroma has ginger, chocolate and dark bread. Dark spicey and syrapy easter bread flavor, roasted malts. Quite light body. Sweet stout? No. Light but drinkable.
