50 cL can. Pours unclear and dark brown with a semi fizzy and tan head. Sweet and malty aroma. Sweet malty flavoured with a distinct sweet caramel note. Sweet caramelish finish with a vague roasted accent. Sweet and nice, yet not with any real character.

From tap at the Halfway House as Velvet. Pours clear and golden orange to hazzlenut brown with a small and slight off-white head. Mild roasted malty aroma. Flavour holds a mild butterish note to a light spiced hoppy tone. Dry and malty into the finish. Smooth and roasted malty impression overall.

From tap at Guildfort Arms. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Classic light cornish and mild hoppy aroma. Flavour is cornish and slight acidic to bitter. Bitter and mild spiced hoppy finish.simple and somewhat related to the brew called international pale lager. A bit sad.

Light brown colour, medium off-white head. Aroma has grassy hops, along with a grainy smell. Flavour has caramel malts, hops giving some bitterness. Forgettable.

Bottle, 2.0%. BB April 91. 17 years ago. Weak chocolate aroma. Clear dark brown colour, no head. Sweet flavour, some bread, a lot of chocolate. A little vinous, but survived the years well.

33cl bottle from Plonkers, Derby. Black with a thick loose tan head and a ruby tint. Aroma of sweet roasted malts and some chocolate - there is none of the bitterness that often comes with over-roasting. The flavour is oily with hints of chocolate and coffee mingling with plums and other soft fruit. Then a dry, warming, bitter finish develops with a touch of port.
A tasty stout, nicely balanced and lacking the harsh coffee edge of many others.

Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour, not much head. ARoma is vanilla, raisins, some roasted notes. Flavour is quite much the same along with a nice toffeeishness coming in.
