 Ethereal (927), London, Greater London, England
Aug 3, 2008 Cask at Kingston BF, 28th June 2008, with renffisch. Black with a tiny line of head. Great aroma - dark chocolate, smoke, figs, red fruit and liquorice. Things don’t let up when you start sipping - peaty notes, red wine and plums finish the job that the nose started. A smoky finish wraps things up nicely. A good stout that’s not for wimps.
