No idea who I stole this off of at my Christmas party. Sorry about that. Rather black colour. A stout always scores points if I can’t see through it and it has a nice head. Big roast and peanut oil aroma. Reasonably full body. Toasty, with light hints of nuts and coffee. Quite dry. Straightforward, but tasty, light stout.

Dark amber to brown color. Aroma of mild coffee. Dry mouthfeel, with a combination of caramel and roasted malt. Quite strong bitterness; in the end there is still a lot of caramel and roasted malt.

(12oz bottle) Clear, very dark brown body with medium beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, cocoa, coffee, some nutty, salty. Taste is medium sweet, roast, coffee, some chocolate, nutty, light burnt, salty. Creamy light-medium body, light acidity.

Bottle. Dark red brown colour with a small brown head. light roasted, chocolate, light coffee aroma and taste. Medium body with a light sweet, light dry finish. Mild and plesant.
