Bought from the local shop an a emergency trip to get cheese. Saw it and just fancied having it with lunch. It's a really simple bitter, but with lots of bitter hops and a good mouthfeel. A very reasonable lunchtime pint.

Bottle as No Logo Pale Ale, Franca Manca Guildford. Aroma is sweet and malty.... more sugary than fruity. Clear copper gold. Thin white head just skims the surface. Light-medium bitter. Grainy. Metallic. Malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry finish. Awful stuff - more like a malty lager.

500ml bottle (as Black Stout, seem to have dropped the 'Oyster'): BB March 2025, drank at home while doing a BBQ in the back garden. It's black with a tanned topping and is 'Stouty' in nature, smooth, malty and fine overall.
