Brewed by Beeston
Style: Stout
Kings Lynn, England

Cask Handpump at the Harlequin, Sheffield 24/11/2007 Roast malt aroma. Tan head. Black and strong in alcohol with a crisp and slightly dry fruity bitter finish.

Bottle. Blackish beer with a roasted, hopped and dry aroma and flavour. Overall a very nice beer with a lot of character.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Dark brown with creamy head. Quite a smokey, ashy, tobacco aroma leading to a liquorice, sourish, tarry flavour. Sweetness in the background, a little artificial. An odd beer but fairly drinkable.

<b>Bottle 50cl.</b>

Aroma is moderate to light light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, chocolate, light hoppy. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081003]

Bottle. Dark brown with a thin head. Aromas are woody and dry with roast malts ans alcohol. Flavours are woody and very dry with dark chocolate and toffee malts with bitter coffee. Quite vinous with ashtray smokiness. Dry on the finish.

50 cL bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Pours dark brown with a small orange rim. Roasted malt and spiced aroma. Smooth chocolate and spiced flavoured with a light dry acidic roasted flavour coming through. Lingering acidic and spiced finish. Nice one.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours an opaque dark brown with a rough, light brown head. Aroma of tar and tobacco. Medium-bodied with very burned malt accents, salty licorice and a distinct malt bitterness. A strange Stout indeed. 031008
