does not count Nov 27, 2001 Quite simply (Nitrogen be damned) the best stout available. Wish I were either a rich man, or one of her majesty’s forces.. on account of it being awfully pricey and that it says right on the label ’Contractors to her Majesty’s Forces’ ..who says war is hell?

Jan 3, 2003 One word - Incredible and then several others, very pleasing to the palate, outstanding after taste and the aroma when enjoyed from my favorite pint glass is heavenly.
After several more 4 packs of this I’ve found it just gets better. Try letting it warm (drink half cold) then you can really experience the complexity of flavors.

Jan 30, 2005 so very dark brown to black. light barely passes through. tight brown dense foam lingers. complex aroma. smoke, soy sauce, worsteshire sauce, burnt wood, dark chocolate and a hint of gunpowder. rich flavors and moderate carbonation provide a soft yet tremendous mouthfeel. dark chocolate, caramel, coffee, roasted nuts, spice, soy sauce, and chocolate liqueur. nice moderate bitterness, probably east kent goldings. not at all harsh. every flavor lingers. complex and profound. simply and perfectly enjoyable. chocolate milk for adults.

Dec 24, 2005 As per usual, another benchmark from one of my favorite breweries. This is the most finesseful, silky, refined, and balanced Imp. stout on the market. I love the Domestic interpretations I’ve had, but they all aim for overkill. This is a stout you can actually have a few glasses of. And how did they get all that rich chocolate, liquorice, vinous wine, and espresso notes crammed into a stout of such low abv.??? Classic, in every way, especially in the dance between the sweet almost apple-toffeish flavors and the bracing sourness of a truly aged ale???? Perhaps blending of old and new in Tadcaster??????? Grab yourself a pint today and ponder these questions and many more.
