Bottle from RHS Wisley, as Thoughtful Forager Roasted Coffee Stout. Aroma has coffee, nuts, cream and a liqourice tang. Pours cola brown. Opaque. Thin creamy translucent off-white head soon fades. Sour berries. Creamy sweetness almost hovers over the top before descending and taking the lead into the finish. Light bitterness throughout. Medium bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Fine although the astringent finish results in a real aftertaste.
