bottle, pours a perfect pint, dark brown nearing black body, thin to medium tan head. Sweet cream stout aroma, almost like lactose. Roasted malt, sweet molasses, and a burnt sugar finish. Moderate carbonation, I bet this is lovely on tap with nitro, here it’s a little too much carbonation(crisp mouthfeel.) A very basic yet delicious and refreshing stout. Low in alcohol but still has plenty of flavor. I like it.

Bottle, 4.1%. Sour aroma, smells extremely grainy. Hint of mild plastic, perhaps just paper. Almost black colour, red shine. Small stable light brown head. The flavour is quite roasted, there is some paper and grain. Roasted grain in the finish.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Didn’t smell like a bitter too me...Pitched way too high and notes of acedehylde. A brewing mistake. Pours with a large, hazy off-white head, and a copper body with good lace. Aroma of apples (acedehydle), candi sugar, fruity esters graham cracker, grand manier and cidery. What a mess for an english style bitter. Taste is completely different (thank god). Grainy, malty and slightly bitter. Fizzy and dry moutfeel.

Tap @ OTH. Pours hazy brown with beige head. Aroma is grainy with good notes of dark fruits and a fairly present malty nose. Taste of sugary malts, with dark fruits, hops. Is a lot smoother and sweeter than most ESB’s.

Medium brown colour with light soapy head. Flavour has plenty of dry hop and gives a dry, bitter finish.

Draft @ Redlight. Appealing red color with a khaki foamy head. Surprising berry aromas, strawberry, cranberry, chocolate covered cherries. Flavor has a little more chocolate than berry, but also a new fruit: cassis. Heavy lacing in the glass. Juicy finish.

[Nitrokeg at Ferryboat Inn, Fishguard] Black with a small white head. Smooth texture, slight burnt malt and earth taste but really very bland and water for a stout and with a rather metallic aftertaste. Disappointing.

[500ml bottle from Tesco Haverfordwest] Moderate carbonation goes perfectly with the beer and gives a large, foamy white head. Darker than your average British bitter. Tastes of ribena, syrup, honey and green leaves. Easy drinking, yet with very intersting flavour combinations - I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
