Can from Beers of Europe. Pours lightly hazy (by modern murk standards) yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of light orange and stone fruit. Peach stone in fact. Taste is bready sweet, peach again, hint of nail varnish. Not entirely successful, but OK.

Aromas are straightforward dark malt, with some toffee, a little caramel and a whiff of hops. Flavors are bittersweet with more carbonation than I expected. Mild lingering bitter in the finish. Not bad.

Creamy tan head on a dark brown still body. Malt, vanilla & chocolate aroma. Medium bodied, very smooth & creamy with a lively but cloying back. Chocolate, malt, cocoa & coffee tastes with lightly hopped bitter finish. That's a good Stout.
