Bottle, thanks to Leighton..... It pours near black with a bubbly tan head. The nose is mild roast, chocolate, toast, cocoa, natural yoghurt and faint TCP/medicinal notes. The taste is initially tangy, mild roast, toast, earth, tangy, dark fruit, light liquorice, chocolate and blueberry with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Yes it’s tangy, but actually still rather nice.

Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Thanks to Leighton for this one. Opaque dark brown beer, good bubbly tan head. Light airy palate, a little dry. Slightly odd stout this one - sourish with marmite and unsweet dark chocolate. Semi dry finish. Okay. 6.3

13 years on, this has held up well. Still have that sourish element to it, soft dark chocolate, tangy dark ripe fruits, a touch of roast. Giving this a small bump for longevity and a slightly better drinking experience.
