<i> <b> Bottle picked up at Bellingers Jet Garage, Grove near Wantage, Oxon, consumed this evening 07-10-08 </i> </b> Another good, simple stout from East Anglia, ok its not quite Wagtail Black Shuck but its not too far away. Pours black moving to brown at the edges with an off white head. Good dry roasty bitter bite with some liqourice as well, lovely. Aroma is of light chocolate, really nice beer.

Bottled. A black coloured stout which pours with no head. The aroma is dry and roasty with a bit of fruit. Fruity and smoky in the mouth with some oily character. Really pretty fruity. Tasty though.
