440ml can. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small, creamy, fading, dark brown head. BA supported, roasty and dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, Port, Whisky, some wood, a touch of plum, smoked plum. Taste is BA supported, roasty and chocolately, dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, some cocoa, Port, Whisky, wood, a touch of peat, fruity overtones of plum and cherry, some alcohol.
Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation.
Relatively simple base beer, all complexity is due to the BA - very good, not outstanding.

Can at home, 3rd May 2025. Pours thick and black, chocolate dark and milk on the nose. Taste is rich, decadent, chocolate, cocoa, light barrel, I would have preferred more; making this quite sweet, notes of port and wood. Very nice stout, but not up to the level of the recent others I’ve had from these guys
