Chocolate and coffee malt aroma. Black coca cola colour with light brown head. Toasted malt flavour. A bit thin for a stout. Another average beer from Wychwood.

This stout poured a thin head, but it did not last very long. It did have excellent lacing. I do not enjoy the traditional strong coffee tasting stouts, but this stout was mild which was much to my liking. In fact, I told my bf, thedm, that given the chance I would definitely drink this one again!!

Bottled: Transparant blackish. Tiny little head. Some liqourice and chocolate in the nose. Watery and slightly bitter flavour. Some not too pleasant bitterness in the end. A pretty boring and forgettable stout.

This is not my idea of a stout. It's more like a cross between a porter and a brown ale. Deep ruby red color with very little head retention. Balanced flavor with no real outstanding qualities.

Bottled. This was nasty. Smelled, looked, and poured bad. Very weak for a stout, way to thin. Oh did I mention this smelled bad. I really couldn't get over it to drink this. This was a drain pour.

Black in color with tinges of red. Head is small, mostly diminishing, and leaves little lacing. Aroma is rather bland; smells like a well-used, empty, and rinsed out coffee-cup. Flavor is slightly coffeeish and lightly malted. Finish is kinda sorta hopped, but its all gone before you can say Abracadabra. By no means is this putrid, but it is a rather light stout. Perhaps a good training stout for beginners?

500 ml Bottled. Black liqued with a thin wishy washy beige head. Aroma was difficult to at first find then determine. Waited for it to warm a bit and got some malt. Very thin stout, no real roasted malts, fag ash flavour with a little bitterness. The commercial description is very misleading.

Almost black colour, decent head (at best). Aroma and flavour is mild with coffee and chocolate. Smooth but thin mouth feel (perhaps due to the oats). Dry and bitter finish. Tastes more like a bitter than a stout. Too "inoffensive". Another cool label though.
