Tap@Hales. Nothing hugley wrong, just a little thin. Dry, mocha and chocolate flavours, not overly complex.

<i> Draught </i> Black with foxy highlights; greige dense nitrohead. Brut chocolate,<i> mole </i> saucenotes of coffee and malts. Not really bitter, but very roasted grains taste, more chocolate and coffee dregs. Smooth, slick and falsely bodied by the roasted grains bill. Actually, rather poor stout. Not really better than Guinness, so, what’s the point?

nitro: Dark brown, not opaque, creamy brown head. Aroma has a roasty mocha & espresso persona with some light smoke and caramel. The flavor is roasty, nutty with some mocha chocolate sweetness. Finishes with some roast & chocolate.

Some sour milk and vegetable aromas, with a sweet, complex dark chocolate finish... coating the mouth. Very tasty. Medium to heavy texture. Low carbonation with a thick body.
