botella 500 Ml. una Stout sin mas pretensiones que una buena botella.

Århus2008 50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a redish glare and a lacing light tan head. Mild roasted malt aroma. Flavour is mild roasted and light smooth oat flavour and mouthfeel. Light acidic touch into the finish.

Bottled (as Kinmount Willie). Roast and Maris Otter coming through strongly in the nose, along with some sweet fruity notes that aren’t terribly complex. Deep dark brown pour, opaque but not quite black, with a beige head, well-lacing but a little too reminiscent of nitro. Dry roasty taste with a little too much sweetness, still nowhere near cloying. Silky finish, indeed! Watery body is mostly smooth and boring with a slight introductory hop prickling. Decent stout, nothing particularly interesting or oaty about it, finish included. I wouldn’t mind trying a cask version, though, or a less-filtered bottled version.

Strongly phenolic raisin smell. clear dark brown with a thin tan head. Tastes of tea with moderate astringency. Light charcoal finish. Watery mouthfeel, tainted. Little resemblance to a stout and drinks more like a dunkel or scotch ale.

Kinmount Willie Oatmeal Stout. 50cl bottle. Pours black, tan head. Lacking. I expected a bit on the sweet side. Flavor is dry, even a little lactic. May have been an old bottle.

Near black with a decent, tight tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, black fruit and porridge oats with a whiff of roastiness. Light mouth feel with some grain, chocolate and spice flavours. Decent, easy drinking.
