Wychwood Black Wych 4.5%

I’m going to call this a stout that someone dumped a bottle of lager into. First off it didn’t have the typical black, opaque colour of a stout, rather a dark brown that was lighter around the edges. Taste was way too light for a stout. Had some elements like coffee, some sweetness (toffee?) and a subtle bitterness as well. Aroma was caramel and malts.

bottle. dark brown color. strange fruity taste. lots of liqerice. too thin. not all that bad but not all that good.

Hints of coffee and sweet dark bread in the aroma as well as taste. Very dark in color. Quite bitter and suprisingly thin and waterlike. No viscosity which is odd, since it is a stout. To be honest, neihter very bad nor very good.

Bottle 14/05/2001 Dark coloured and strong in alcohol. Malt flavours present.

Bottle - Pours out opaque black with a thin tan head. Smells roasted malt licorice and a slight hop almost skunk aroma. Thin quite sweet stout rather one dimentional but not a bad sesion stout if you can handle the sweetness. Needs a a little bittering hops to round out the finish.

Øl købt i Føtex for 15 kr. Stout ??? - Den mangler kraft og er mere a la tysk schwarz beer. Øllen er mørkebrun, og har et brunt sæbeagtigt skum, der relativt hurtigt forsvinder. Nå man dufter til den første gang dufter den som en flad Hof. Smagen er dog som en hof der er brændt på. Kulsyren er også som en hof. Ikke en øl, som jeg vil drikke igen.

Bottle. Weak aroma with a hint of liquorice. Almost black colour, small stable head. The flavour is roasted, perhaps roast barley. Weak liquorice flavour. High carbonation. Quite boring.

18 Dec 05 - Sweetish roasted malt and some hop aroma. Clear dark brown colour, reasonable head and lacing. Roasted malt flavours but lacks a broader complexity. Up front bitterness that is a bit thin.
