Bottle at home in London. Pours a clear, cola brown with a small, off-white head. Sweet, mild chocolate aroma with light lactic notes. Light cocoa roast flavor, light burnt sugars, some ash. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty bland finish, faint ashes and leaves, bit of roasted malts. Just drinkable.

On tap at the Magpie. Clear dark red-brown beer. Residual tan head. No carbonation. Semi dry palate. Starts with an odd vegetal note and a whisper of sulphur. Some dry fruit and a little bitter hop. A very dry finish. Too dry and in suspect condition.

En totalsågat ale vilket känns lite spännande. Ser åtminstone ut som en IS med medelhögt skum. Lite märklig doft av unket sädesupplag och choklad. Smaken maltig åt chokladhållet, inte direkt fyllig utan snarare lätt syrlig. Nya Zealändska Riwaka och Herculeshumle ger lätt beska och blommiga och fruktiga nyanser. Kanske inte ska jämföras med eller kallas IS men en fin chokladstout med lite annorlunda karaktär. Gott så!

Bottle. Black with a small tan head. Watery and not good at all. Light notes of roasted malt, coffee and something strange that I could not put my finger on.

Black color; small head. Aroma of roasted malt, glue, cookies, smoke, vanilla, wood, light phenols... Interesting. The body is thinner than expected; there is a quite good roasted malt flavor, quite dry, but also a note of liquorice and phenol, and oxidization. The final is a bit metallic. Good but somehow strange.
