BC from Bath Waitrose. Foggy chestnut with a fine white slick. Coffee dregs, damp cellar, musky berry and mouldy Twiglet aroma. Mildew on milk chocolate, heartburn flavour. Slippery and acidic. Damp to the point of unpleasantness, but better with the bits tipped in. Blood droplets, dash of marzipan. Ends up a decent, soily, mild-like specimen with splashes of sour. Feel a bit sick.

Bottle, 500ml. A dark brown colour with no head and no carbonation. Aroma of woody malt, fresh floral hops, cocoa and caramel. A really nice, nutty, biscuity taste with roasted malt and cocoa notes. Some caramel sweetness and a moderately bitter finish. A very enjoyable brew which I’d absolutely have again.

Bottle from Waitrose in Monmouth. Looks like murky flat coke with a soap scum head. Smells oaked with a strong chocolate/ treacle aroma. Tasted oaked with some coffee coming through. Flat.

Bottle 50cl.
Clear medium amber color with a average, creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, nutty, light chocolate, moderate yeasty, soap, first inmpression was bad but as I drink more of the beer it turns better and better. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and dusty chocolate coffee bitter with a long average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090730]

Bottled@ChrisO. Reddish amber colour, huge beige head, some lace. Aroma is spices, wood, some earth, liquorice and mild earthyness. Flavour is liquorice, roasted malts, quite big on the grass and spices. Grassy and liquoriceish finish along with some very dark chocolate. Brutally kicking and different. Also quite much nuttyness.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Waitrose, Bath. Chestnut colour with big white head, a beauty. Lovely dark flavours, full of roasted malt, chocolate roased notes with a yeasty, in a good way, impact. Then a flowery hop, would they have had this in Tudor England?, with an underlying citric note. I must admit that the two Kingstone beers I have had so far have been very good.
