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.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Opaque black color, small beige head. Strong licorice aroma, some coffee. Flavor is lighter than aroma. It has dark coffee, some milk chocolate and other toasted flavors. Very good flavor but overall too light. Maybe ok with oysters.

Deep pitch black coloured body with a muddy brown head and a nice lacing that leaves the side of the glass beautiful. Aroma of mild roasted malt, raisins, toffee, oak and a bit of vanilla. Medium-bodied; Strong roasty flavour with some light sweetness and a decent amount of bitterness soon behind. Aftertaste shows very subtle flavours mainly consisting of roasted malt, tobacco and some molasses. Overall, a nice and very subtle beer - perfect for a warmer day! I sampled this 330 mL bottle purchased from the Utobeer Market Stall in Borough (London), England on 13-December-2008, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia (the other side of the pond) on 02-May-2009.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt as well as medium notes of chocolate, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is thin. Thanks yespr for sharing.
