[33cl bottle from Beer52.] A glossy cola brown coloured pour with a short lived beige head; attractive aroma of tarry ropes and coffee; light fresh body with roasted coffee to start, followed by chocolate syrup; then an earthy bitterness and toasted grains to finish. A nicely made stout.

Creamy tan head left a good cover & collar on a jet black still body. Malt & bitter fruit aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the front a sharp dry back. Malt, bitter, roasted, berry & nutty tastes with a tangy finish. Standard stuff.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Spicy and slightly roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of ginger, cinnamon, some dark chocolate, whiffs of coffee. Taste is slightly dry, minimally sweet, roasty and chocolately, dark malty, slightly spicy, hints of ginger and cinnamon, a touch of treacle. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine and soft carbonation, lingering finish keeps all flavours alive. Very nice.

330ml bottle from Beer52; BB 10th Mar 2021. Drank at home on 27th Mar 2020. Black bodied, thin tanned topping, even though I poured it robustly. Chocolate malts rule the aroma and taste, not as 'roasted', 'burnt' or 'singed' as I expected. Nor did it have any 'peat like' presence. A little disappointed with it to be honest. Scored objectively.

Can at home, 24/12/19. Murky orange with a decent off white head … lively pour. Nose is bitter orange, straw, melon, toasted malts, grass. Taste comprises orange pith, citric tinged straw, lemon rind, melon, toasted malts, light pine flicker. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy hop bitterness. Ok IPA but a touch overcarbed which lowered the drinkability for me.
