Deep and complex stout full of roasted coffee and bitter chocolate flavours with oats to give a smooth mouth feel. The bitterness is balanced by a silky smooth finish.

(Cask at Gallows Bird Magna Carta Real Ale Festival 2015) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had creamy coffee and burnt malts. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, dark chocolate, creamy coffee, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt and bittter. A nice stout.

Cask at Reading BF. Black with a loose off-white head. Roasted malts up front followed by plain chocolate with dark roast coffee. Good balance of sweet and dry and rather drinkable and more-ish. A decent stout this.

500 ml bottle sampled in 2008. Dark brown, almost black body with a thin beige head. Aroma has roasted malt, mocha and a bit acidic. Flavor is weak malty, slightly roasted, some coffee and feels sour. Thin and watery body, not very pleasant aftertaste. Might be something wrong with this bottle.
