Aroma of roasted malt, sweet smelling, and undeniably English. Pours almost black; reddish tones come out when held up to the light. Thick head, long retaining, decent lacing. Tastes of roasted coffee, sweet malt. This beer has remained in my top 10 for at least ten years, and for good reason. I know of no other stout that tastes quite like this. One of the greatest beers in the world right here.
