Bottle from Quaffs. Black and tan as you would expect. Smokey roast malt, bittersweet chocolate, liquorice, berries and coffee with a hoppy note behind. Taste is similar, roasted malt, dusty cocoa, coffee and slightly orangey hops, almost like a malty Terry’s chocolate orange. Body can do with a bit of thickening and this would be on par with almost any stout out there. Big things to come from this brewery, believe...

Nov 3, 2008 Bottle: Impenetrably dark with a permanent foamy beige head. Dark chocolatey malts and hazlenuts in the aroma. Deep nutty and earthy flavours are most pronounced. Deliciously thick and mouth-coating. Amazingly nutty, lasting finish. All round a very tasty beverage.

Sep 14, 2008 Updated: Sep 15, 2008500ml bottle from off-licence. Nice, deep chocolate tasting stout with bitterness and coffee and a dryish finish. Sadly it was too watery and not as good as some Ascot ales.
