bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Dark brown colour with a small beige-brown head. Malty nose. Intensively malty, with lovely complex flavours of raisins, caramel, toffee, bitter chocolate and coffee. Lingering finish. A delicious beer.

Pours black with a huge frothy dark tan head. Sweet malty and chocolaty aroma. Taste is well balanced, with sweet roasty malt and some bitter chocolate and coffee. Worth trying.

Jet black with creamy caramel brown head that leaves decent lacing. Aroma is sweet coffee, chocolate, lots of grains, plums, dates and earthy hops. Taste is more coffee, some molasses, noticeable alcohol, and a complex roasted malt bitterness that lingers for some time. Very thick and cream, with some alcholic heat.

Pours dark black with a small froth head. Aroma is malty consisting of dark bread, roasted malts, and carmel. lightly hoppy and yeasty. Flavor is well balanced and complex. roasted malts, hints of burnt carmel, and toffee. Full bodied, creamy and softly carbonated.

Bottle sample- pours jet black with frothy tan head. Nose- dark fruit and chocolate. Taste- very fruity, plums, raisins, chocolate and slight alcohol taste. Medium to low carbonation. Finish is bitter chocolate, maybe a touch of hops, but not much. Mostly a roast free, fruit forward stout. I prefer less fruity notes, so drinkability suffers somewhat. Quite light bodied for style.
