May 9, 2008 500ml bottle from the Deli at the end of Chris_o’s road. Black with thin deep beige head. Lots of choc and coffee on aroma. Probably the best of these beers that I’ve had. The dark choc is reasonably intense without being overly bitter. I would expect it to be stronger than 4.5%. Maybe it lacks a bit of depth in the mouth. Good spicey finish. An elegant flavourful stout.

Apr 11, 2008 Bottle. Ginseng/Chicory root and chocolate/coffee malt aroma. Midnight black with minimal head. Slighty smokey chocolate malt flavor with a bitter/astringent finish. Nice drinking stout - lighter body.

Feb 26, 2007 A Mes rate:
50cl bottle from what used to be Thirst For Beer in Pwllheli. A decent inky stout. Almost black, totally opaque. Malt barley and some very faint liquorice and brown sugar in the nose. A little too watery in the palate and slightly salty in the flavour but otherwise all the boxes are ticked. Standard but good.
