Commercial Description:
Ridgeway FES bottle matures in a similar way to vintage port. Roasted malts and leaf hops initially provide an aroma of breakfast coffee and fresh spices that gradually fades to reveal licorice, caramel and raisin notes that are products of the ageing process. Beneath all this change sits a solid and resilient backbone of bitter English hop. Satisfyingly foreign. You might even imagine the glow of the peat fire?

Poured a deep but not opaque black with ruby highlights. The head is a thin beige cap. The nose is mild with roastiness malt dark fruit and vanilla. The taste starts somewhat sweet like a chocolate covered raisin with underlying roastiness and a lingering finish of dark chocolate and earth.The alcohol really never rears its head very easy to drink albeit a bit mild compared to many other of the style.

[Bottle at the Good Food Show 2009, NEC, Birmingham] Deep brown-black with a slight creamy head. Cough mixture, coffee, treacle and smoke. Quite sweet, and gets a bit sticky - I was glad I shared the bottle as I would struggle to drink a lot of this. Not bad though.

Very dark brown beer with weak, beige head. Aroma is nicely complex: chocolate, roasted malts, coffee and hint of alcohol. Flavour is quite roasted, some liquirice, nice hops in end and overally flavour is not so complicated than aroma. Very easy and nice to drink. Ridgeway Foreign Export Stout is nice and balanced beer, positively thing, this beer is easily to enjoy.

Bottle from Crown #6. Pours black with see through brown effect and big bubbles on top similar to freshly poured coffee. Nose is coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is thin bitter black coffee, roasted malt and slight hint of chocolate. Very, very thin and a little sour. Not bad for this style.
