Bottle. Black. A coat of tan head doesn't last. Aroma of Welsh cake, roast and mocha, some liquorice, medium sherry, sweet shop spices. Then a lot less stouty upon a swig, with sultanas and brioche, undertones of mocha and roast, vanilla/ oak/ caramel whisky notes that build. Bitterness is just supporting. Good but not bold.

Can. Amber with a n off white head that fades to a cm. Aroma of biscuit, caramel, some floral & spicy notes. 7- Quite sweet with a fair bit of body. Caramel, as much bread as biscuit. Pleasingly firm bitterness at the end, with lingering spices. Pretty good.

Can. Not far off black with a tan head that swiftly fizzes down to a cm. 3+ Aroma of caramel, roast, licorice, blackberries. 8- Like the smaller version, it's not all that sweet with roast, coffee and decent finishing bitterness that's a bit spicy. Cuddly but cloying. Good, again.
