Bottle, 10C. Almost black w a beige coat. Aroma is pleasingly full - syrup sweetened coffee, a little smoky roast. It is thinnish, but less so than you'd expect. But there's not enough to support the slightly acrid coffee and it tends towards tinny. But it's really very impressive for a 2.5% stout and one I'd happily drink again.
