Bottle, 3.4%. Weak roasted and creamy aroma. Almost black colour. Good roasted flavour, creamy and slightly cardboardy. Thin mouthfeel, but OK considering ABV.

Bottle. 2005 vintage. HUGE thanks to Phil_L for giving me this at the last ZBF just out of generosity. I wanted to save this for a special occasion but after trying and really enjoying the regular Good King Henry it got harder to keep seeing it just seating in the cellar. Black-colored with a small bubbly brown head. Wonderful aroma full of chocolate (pralines), some alcohol, light fruitiness and some oaky notes. Flavor is sweet upfront with some chocolate notes, caramel and some fruitiness, continues slightly drier, very roasty, with some coffee, a great woody touch with vanilla notes and a bitter finish with big roastiness and a bit of alcohol. Full thick-bodied with light hints of alcohol on the tongue. A bit acidic and maybe lightly salty when I pour the bottom of the bottle. A magnificent balanced Stout.

50cl bottle. Pours nearly black with a small creamy head. Nose is roasted toffee & coffee. Smooth but thin palate. Low carbonation. Some sour notes in the end which I dislike. Notes of rye-bread. Could easily have been better!
