Old Review from 15/05/2014. A bottle picked up from a tiny greengrocer in the brewery's hometown of Llanidloes, Wales. Pours black as Coke with no head. Aroma is roasted, some coffee and liquorice. Taste is moderate sweet, roasted coffee and dry bitter liquorice, smooth light Watery mouthfeel, still a very good stout, on the sweeter side.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 3 months past BBE. Pours a cloudy gold with moderate sized white head. Aromatic slightly perfumed aroma of citrus and passionfruit, light pine. Taste starts grapefruit and citrus and then its pine, resin and bitter to the slightly chewy and astringent finish. Good creamy medium body to this for the strength. Mixed but still very drinkable.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 3 months past BBE. Pours black with small fizzy beige head which recedes quite quickly. Aroma is sweet and big on chocolate and coconut but also some roasted malts and a hint of berry fruitiness, slight metallic notes come through. Taste again sweet, chocolate, coconut, a little watery in the middle, then liquorice and light ash notes and a nice hoppy bitterness in the finish. Just about medium bodied and fairly slick but feels on the light side for 7% ABV. Tasty though.
