A complex stout brewed with 10 different malts and boiled for 3 hours to create a thick, luscious stout. Caramel, chocolate and vanilla were added during conditioning to replicate a Millionaire's Shortbread Stout.

440ml can. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma of biscuit, chocolate, caramel. Taste of caramel, vanilla, chocolate, biscuity malts, surprisingly bitter (coffee-like), not much sweetness as you might expect from the adjuncts. Medium-full bodied. Bit of a strange one, flavours are as described but them being bitter is a bit of a mindfuck.

Can from Hop Shop Aberdeen. Black body with a thick tan head that holds well. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, shortbread and vanilla. Flavour of nuts and roasted malt. Medium body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Rich and decadent.

440ml can from my kids on Father’s Day! Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, fizzy dark tan head. The aroma is roasty, light sugary, chocolate. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, chocolate, fake sugary, boozy liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice, but it’s purely liquorice and booze. Millionaires Shortbread? Not in my can. This is becoming a familiar issue with Tartarus. Their stouts are rarely as described.
