500ml bottle from Brecon Tap. Drunk at our cottage in Pontypool. Hazed dark appearance, tan head. Liquorice, roasted malt and dark chocolate presenting themselves in that order both on the nose and palate. Delightful stout from Raglan, Monmouthshire.

Third by cask, shared with Finn on the third day of GBBF Winter 20, Iron Bridge Bar. Near-black in the glass, covering beige head, clingy lacing. Smell of earthy, chocolate malts. Flavoured with chocolate malts followed by a fruity note to a mildly roasted finish. Satisfying. (Birmingham 06.02.2020).
