Black, good frothy tan head, some lacing

Taste of soft sweet dark malts, touch of dark chocolate, soft roast, simple, rather weak in flavour but what’s there is fine
Palate - Soft carb, medium light body, bit thin, fairly sweet. Finish has a touch more bitter roast, hint of dry newspaper
Overall - Better than the Red. Drinkable, but flavour rather weak for abv. Economy brewed.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Rotem. Dark amber-brown, not opaque, with no head. Slightly oxidized aroma of chocolate, a bit stale, with a bit of roast. Slightly sweetish flavor, a bit oxidized, with chocolate, cardboard, a bit of roast and a bitterish finish. Kinda watery. Not a great Stout.
