A classic stout with deep chocolate and mocha flavours; this rich, velvety and wonderfully drinkable beer is the perfect accompaniment to roast beef, oysters and game. This beer’s long and glorious heritage dates back to the 18th century when a glass of stout and a plate of whitstable oysters became the pairing of choice for millions of thirsty britons.

Keg. Appearance- black, foamy beige head which persists. Aroma- hints of milky chocolate, malty. Taste- smooth, bitter, chocolate hints, some bitter coffee, dry roast. Good stout, perhaps a bit on the chilled side when I had it.

330 ml bottle from Tiddly Pomme, Faversham. Dark brown, almost black body with a medium sized off-white hard that almost disappears immediately. Quite weak aroma of roasted malt. Flavor is also a bit weak and plain. Light roasted malt, not much bitterness and except for some salty tones in the aftertaste there is not much flavor to pick up at all here besides the light malt flavor. Rather thin body. Drinkable, but when I get quite bored after just the half bottle I’m disappointed.

Cast at The Orange Tree, Chelmsford. Pours almost black without too much head, hints of burnt chocolate/coffee. Good medium-full body. Enjoyable, without being sensational.

330 ml bottle, from Selfridge’s food store, London. ABV is 4.5%. Pitch black colour, moderate to low tan head. The aroma is roasty with notes of smoke, tar and salt water, hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel, light bodied. Dry flavour, roasty notes with coffee and smoke, moderate bitterness, slightly salty finish with a hint of liquorice. Pleasant to drink.

A BBE Feb 08 bottle - stored cool and dark. Opaque brown stout . Rich without being overly roasty or thick. Sharpish tang to this - the oysters? Dry finish. Not bad but could not drink loads.

Light bodied with light carbonation. Has a dry, lightly roasted malt finish with some mild saltiness. Overall a bit light on character.
