330ml bottle. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of toasted coconut, rich dark chocolate, barrel. Taste is incredible, like a Bounty bar but with rich dark cacao, toasted coconut, rum, oak, spice, dark fruits, sugar, honey, warming alcohol, sweet. Full bodied, thick, smooth. Exceptionally well balanced, everything feels just right. A perfect, faultless stout. Sublime.

Special one-off brew for the Rusty Bucket Pub's first birthday celebrations, drank at the very same place. Black pour with a swiftly dissipating tan head. Nose of coffee beans, earth, hot spice, treacle toffee. Throat tingling flavours of raw coffee beans, more hot spice, bonfire toffee, dark chocolate. Very pleasant chilli hit in the close. A well presented and tasty brew.
