Rich black color with healthy tan head. Aroma is slight diacetyl but not in offensive amounts. Peat, salt, roasty toasty, carob powder, some chocolate, creamy mouthfeel, slight sour tang. Substantial and seems healthy.

Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is mostly burnt malt and barley. Tastes of semi-sweet cocoa, more burnt grains, earth, and hops. Finishes like a typical English style stout, thin and bitter on the palate.

Bottle pours an opaque black with a thick dark tan head that lingers like a frothy cappuccino. Aroma of bitter chocolate, roasted malts, tobacco, and dried fruit. Bitter flavor that includes a nice mix of chocolate, coffee, and smokiness. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

From bottle. Aroma of sweet berries, part liquorice and smoked oak. Black colour with a decent off white head. good texture, smoked hops and chocolate malt. A little more strength would have been great.

1pt bottle: poured a perfect black with a thick head that quickly disappeared. Aroma is of sweet dark chocolate. Taste is very smooth leaving you wanting more.

Pours pitch black with a mostly receding brown head. Aroma of chocolate, licorice, smokey roast, and peat. Tastes of chocolate roast, licorice, peat, and a bit of smoke. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with lush carbonation. Very nice stout, I love the darker beers from England and Scotland, makes me want to visit.

Nice tasty stout. Slight head. Roasted chocolate and smokiness on the nose. Great creamy mouthfeel with relaxed malty flavors. Assertive hoppiness kicks in and then vanishes leaving a nice warm finish.

Pours pitch black. Tan head. A big head at that. Nose is really nice chocolate tones. Smooth and consistent. Really good fragrance. Flavor is more bitter, but consistent. The chocolate may be on the nose, but it certainly isn’t on the flavor profile. The bitter smoothes out over time. Feel is nice and thick on the liquid. Good carbonation too. Drinkable, yes. Well made, just doesn’t have any crazy flavor characteristics, but who needs it.
