Bottle from Villeneuve Wines, Peebles Bottle BBE 1/11/12 071112 Black, big dense tan head, good lacing Aroma - smooth very mellow roasted malts, dab of yeast, hint of alcohol Taste - smooth roasted malts, dark malts, some chocolate malts Palate - soft carb, full body, viscous, rich smooth texture. Finish - rich smooth luxuriant mouthfeel, dark rich malts, touch of nuttiness in the tail with some warming alcohol Overall - This stout has an excellent rich full body, but the flavour is somewhat underwhelming, it doesn?t match the rich body, but more flavour comes through in the finish. Just misses a 4 for me.
