330ml bottle. Clear, amber colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, minimally grey-ish, white head. Mellow malty and slightly fruity aroma, hints of red berries. Taste is minimalyl toasty, mellow malty, slightly fruity, slightly alcoholic, hints of red berries, cherry, some caramel, bitter hoppy counterpart. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, fine, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Flattering sweetness, quite monotonous - so-so.

Schooner on tap at The Red Lion, Glencoe. Black as black can be. No light shines through. Malty smoky nose, some cocoa. Nice lacing. Taste of sweet chocolate, finish is lactic with a slight lingering bitterness. Nice sweet stout, very easy to drink.
