0.33L bottle, small head that dissapears very quickly. uniform opaque black colour, aroma of charred wood, dark chocolate and whiffs of smoke, charred wood dominates the flavour with hints of dried fruits and dark bread, almost completely dry. feels quite fat and silky, long bitter aftertaste. Quite impressive.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Burned malty nose. Medium body, burned maltiness with a little dried fruits and some residual sugars. Some dark chocolate accents. Discreet malt bitterness. A little too sweet to be a proper Dry Stout, but a pleasant drink. 031009

Bottle (courtesy of DSG): Hazy, copper coloured with a quickly collapsing head; perfumed hoppy and fruity-malty nose; quite dry bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering aromatic hoppy finish, some yeast detectable. Not bad, if it was kosher.........

LCRBM 2009. Looks good, modest turbid, small head. Modest malty-mushy, finish more and more dry, moldy hoppy notes. Not bad! Thanks to DSG for bringing it!

Hazy orange-foxy beer. Nice, near US-hops nose with a lot of citrus and quite a chalk touch. Tangerine peel, citrus and sweet-yeasty notes in the finish especially. Medium bodied, yeastladen, slick. Nice one, certainly for a newly converted homebrewer.
