Black with some carbonation. Bubbly head. Smooth on the palate with some alcohol present. Bitter slightly dry roast flavoured finish.
harrisoni (5121), Ashford, Kent, England Oct 23, 2005 Cask gravity Notts BF 05. Black beer with thin beige head. Blackberry nose not obvious choc, smooth and full in mouth and then bitter choc. However not dry and grainy like some stouts. Choc finish is nice leaparsons (3899), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Nov 25, 2004 Very dark brown in colour. Aromas are earthy and dry with hints of sour fruit. Flavours are far more fruity than the aroma - surprisingly so. Earthy, with chocolate and licourice with some sour berry notes. Smooth with a hint of soapiness. Fruity and floral on the finish. Pretty good.
