On tap at EBF 08. People had been going on about this for 2 days, so I thought that I would give it a go. Black, no head. Stunning aroma. Stunning. Great bitter choc espresso stout. ONe of the beers of the festival. It really stood out even though it was one of the last beers I had on the Saturday after drinking for 12 hours solid. A beer that lived up to the hype.

Black with a small, light brown head. Aroma has licorice, chocolate and other roast malt. Dry and roasted flavour with a touch of charcoal. A little hoppiness, and a touch of smoke at the end. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel

Muddy amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is toasted and bready malt. Dry and malty with some grassy hop notes, and a lasting bitter finish.

Black with a lasting off-white head, leaving some lace. Roast aroma with oak at the front, backed up by licorice and chocolate notes. Smooth chocolate flavour with tannins and oak flavours, and a note of charcoal roastedness. The oak impression is really smooth fresh wood, but with a good tannin bite. Soft carbonation and a full body makes it a wonderful beer to sip

Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is wheat, spices and some caramel along with yeast. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balance. A rather pleasant brew. Quite fruity aftertaste.

Bottled. Murky reddish brown colour, small beigeish brown foamy head. Aroma is cardboard, some sweet malts, mild chocolate and coffee along with some wooden hops. Flavour is quite much the same. A bit out of balance for the flavours.

From cask at EBF 08. Roasted, but good dark fruits which are a tad syrupy. Some spice on the finish. It’s a very good impy stout. Good raisiny molasses dates flavour.
