A dark, dry stout brewed using pale, crystal, chocolate and wheat malts together with un-malted roasted barley. Golding and Bramling Cross hops are used for the bittering, giving a fruity edge to the dry bitterness that comes from using highly roasted malts. Late additions of Bramling Cross hops to the boil add another dimension to the aroma of the beer.

Bottle at home, 17th November 19. Pours light black. Aroma is tart and malty. Taste is vinous and acidic, tart, infected drain pour of a beer, I hope this wasn’t intentional. Very poor excuse of a stout.

(bottle, courtesy of pivnizub) Dark brown to black coloured hue with a brown mid-sized foamy head. Roasted malty aroma with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, leather, as well as a tinge of grassy hops. Roasty bitter flavour, light bodied with a calm carbonation. Dry roast-malt character with loads of coffee and dark chocolate; dry and bitter finish joined by a moderate level of sourness. Not particularly rounded but still likeable. 03.II.16

Bottle(picked up @Manufactum Waltrop): Literally black, mid-sized creamy tanned head, that slowly collapses; dry toasty-roasty nose, traces of bitter chocolate and - maybe - hints of caramel; dry and solid bitter flavour, a subdued sweetness is barely detectable, indeed; not too light bodied; lingering and astonishingly soft bitter roasty finish, some malty spots work as a counterweight. Nice brew…

50cl Bottle, tfs Leighton! Black colour, big light-beige head. Aroma of some band-aid, funk, peat, earth, roasted malts. Flavour is light ashy, funky, peat, some iodine, seems to have a beginning infection, some lemon. Light bodied.

Bottle shared in Bermondsey - picked up from an online shop. Pours deep brown with a creamy white head. Certainly a bit funky on the nose, hints of brett, dark fruits. Light sweet flavor with a bit of apple, subtle brett, light cocoa, earth, bread, berries. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Slight roast to finish, further earth, dark fruits. Not as intended but still interesting.
