Bottled from Corks, Bristol. Near black, with a long-lasting, off-white head. Plenty of coffee in the aroma. Very smooth drinking with with flavours of raisins, dark chocolate and roasted notes. A long dry finish to a very good bottled beer.

Bottled (thanks omhper). Hazy amberish golden colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is flowery hops, caramel and a bit more hops. Flavour is dry grassy hops with some hayish notes. Dry, semibitter. Still feels a bit empty in flavour.

Bottled. Almost black, creamy head. Coffee is obvious in the nose. Dryish and buttery with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Richly malty, almost meaty with lingering bitterness and notes of tobacco. A good, well balanced stout. Kingstone is an excellent brewer!

Bottled. Dark amber. Hay aroma, Medium dry with clean mouthfeel. Lots of hay-like hop resting on top a of a light body with some nice chewy malt. The malt character is really something extra, and the hops adds further pleasure. Finieshes with medium bitterness. Recommended!
