Bottle from KWM. Appearance - mat black with a cream to tan head. Nose - dark chocolate, caramel, roast and light smoke. Taste - caramel and roastiness primarily. Burnt toffee and smoke. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a dry, roasty finish. Overall - not sure iI got the hop character but good stout.

6th Sep 2019, keg half-pint in Bittles Bar Belfast. Hazy golden body, lasting white crown on top. As you'd expect it has a citrusy, lemony aroma and taste from the Citra hops. Not much malty presence, so it's fairly bitter flavour wise.

Holy malt bomb. This was all info Bittle had for me so abv only folks. It’s a chestnut ipa that’s tons of brown sugar, malt, maple syrup then light English hops in background. Foamy head. Not terrific

Craft Islington. Bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Almost clear brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, thin creamy sweetness. Little tangy chocolate. It's all very light and watery. For me a good example of why this style nearly went extinct.
