Bottle, The Cave. Pitch black colour, short tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, molasses and chocolate. Flavour of toasted malts. molasses. Light bodied, somewhat bland stout.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a huge light brown head. Rich roasted aroma and taste with notes of chocolate. Good beer.

Bottle at a mates house ... another in the series of common beers i some how havnt rated ... black ... bubbly tan head ... quite a rich chocolate nose ... ligth bitterness ... again a tiny burntness but much lower than the cask version ... decent roast malt ... a little milky.

16oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a decent tan head. Nose is interesting, some grape, vanilla, and coffee. The flavor is utterly unique as I have come to expect from this brewery. Sort of like eating toast and vanilla beans with coffee. Very bready and malty with tons of vanilla and a little coffee with no bitterness. A little peat smoke but not alot. Slightly watery, to be expected given the low abv, but complex and unique.

500 ml. bottle. Pours a mocha colored head of good duration, over an utterly opaque blackish brown body.....nose is heavily roasted malts with coffee chocolate and a bit of molasses.... tastes of dry malts, much less sweetness than the nose would suggest, finishes dry with a bit of lingering vanilla and coffee....mouthfeel is light , but creamy, an interesting brew. An almost perfect example of a dry stout.

Bottle: Poured a black brown with a tan color head. Aroma was vinegar and coffee. Taste was roasted malt and coffee bean.

Way too similar to Dark Island, in my opinion. dark brownish-black pour with a thick tan head. Same smokey peat notes, same malt over hops dryness. Roasted malt. I dunno. Was not a big fan.

Pours dark with a medium brown head. Aroma and flavor of dark chocolate with a hint of roasted coffee.
