Can from HoTM, shared with my bro. It pours pretty much opaque black with a decent frothy beige head. The aroma is rich and toothy, deep dark roasted malt, umami, liquorice, dark chocolate, molasses, dried fruits, Eccles cake, charred, peppery spice, rocky road, florentines and nougat. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, dark roasted malts, coffee grounds, molasses, liquorice, umami, dried fruits, fruit & nut chocolate, rocky road, burnt toast, peppery spice, dark fruits, plum and prune with a drying, toothy finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Nice to have a rich and robust impy stout without any adjuncts for a change.

First of the Friday Virtual Indie Salford Beer Fest beers. Perfect to watch Taskmaster with. #visbf

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from All Good Beer HD. Pours deep black-brown with a dense, frothy beige head. Medium sweet flavour, loaded with rich dark malts, toasted toffee, smooth chocolate, restrained roast, candi sugar. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation, velvety texture. Lightly warming finish, some sticky dark malts, gooey chocolate, some raisins, more roast, a nip of ash. Outstanding malt portrait.
