500ml bottle. Pours black i guess, small foamy tan head. Light on the palette with very light dark malt, cola, distant lactic notes and some interesting, light smoky woody tobacco notes emerging alongside a dry finish. Carbonation seems a little firmer than necessary though not off-putting. Nice, light milk stout.

Bottle, 4.1%, from my beloved students of c19 - thank you, Sweethearts and Hombres! Pours clear dark amber with stable beige head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of fruit and caramel and touches of yeast. Bitter, hoppy onset, giving way to sweetish notes of malt and fruit and touches of yeast. Hints of peat, especially in the rather bitter (and mildly estery) aftertaste. Easy to drink and rather decent for the style.

Clear amber beer, thin bubbly head. Smell is dry, bitter malt and not a hell of a lot else. Flavour is bitter malt, some hop, a bit of fruit, caramel. There's not a hell of a lot to it but as this sort of archetypal bitter go it's got a reasonably clear flavour, nothing unpleasant lurking in the backtaste and low enough strength that you could enjoy a few without any bother.
