50cl bottle from Marks & Spencer, Camberley. An opaque peaty brown pour with a large tan head; caramel aroma; quite lively with a smooth creamy texture that coats the mouth, dry with a taste of well roasted barley and some milky oats; then a nutty caramel finish. A solid and satisfying milky stout.

Cask up the white lady. Pours clear golden amber with a thick white head. Aromas of butterscotch, faint honey. Taste is sweet, biscuits, honey faint again, thankfully. Sweet finish. Could’ve been worse.

Pours black with a small frothy tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, and black coffee. A sweet malty taste, lots of chocolate, some licorice, and a roasted coffee bitter finish. Nice one.

500ml bottle. Pours a mostly clear golden colour with a nice smooth creamy white head, long lasting too. No strong aromas from this, just some malt. Flavour is much the same, mainly malt but quite weak really, disappointing. On the plus side it is an extremely smooth beer. Kind of floral aftertaste, light bitterness. Overall nice but disappointingly weak and lagerish.

500ml bottle. Pours an amber brown colour with a small but long lasting off-white head. Aroma of lightly roasted malts or coffee, fruity. Taste is also malty, the coffee/roasted malt flavours come through after and leave a bitter hop aftertaste.

500 ml bottle, from Matkroken Stokka. BB date 28. April 2014. ABV is 4.4%. Black colour, moderate but lasting tan head. Sweetish malty and lightly roasty aroma, more malts and caramel than coffee, also notes of chocolate and vanilla. Smooth flavour, delightful lightly roasted quality malts, some sweetness but not too much, notes of chocolate, toast and mild coffee, moderate hops. Definitely a beer I’d buy again.
