not much aroma, just a little malt and fruit. tastes better: roasted malt, some bitterness and some fruit, a little grassy. finishes more bitter and grassy. thin bodied. not so good(no coffee: well only a bit in the finishing part, no chocolate, a pity), a bland stout.

Black body with a off-white head. Has aroma from fruits and some roasted malt. The taste is little bitter and has som coffee taste. Some malt. A boring stout.

Beige medium head. Pit black. Fruity aroma. Roasted flavour with notes of blackberry. Watery palate Tiny aftertaste.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a baige head. Dark fruits, light roasted aroma and a thin light roasted fruity taste. Light body and a boring finish.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. OK this is it. No more Wychwood beers for me. Don’t care about the ratings anymore. I had one pint of the Prince Albert on cask that was fine, but otherwise, a waste of my drinking capacity. No more. This one has a thin beige head. Dead choc/coffee malt aroma. Some sourness in mouth with bitter choc kicking in. Lacks depth, character and taste. Thanks Wychwood for the variety, but no thanks

Very dark with a brown small creamy head. Roasted, light sweet aroma. The taste is bitter roasted malt. Quite a good ber but nothing extraordinary.

Bottled. Dark brown coloured with an off white head. Roasted aroma with notes of anise and liquorice. Roasted flavour. Watery body. Boring.

A Mes rate: Hmm I’m not particulalry sure how spell binding this is. In fact its pretty poor to be honest. Nothing much going on all round really. The aroma is bland, slight grass and malt but nothing to write home about. Flavour is more of the same. Roasted malty nothingness. Very light bodied. In fact I think it is a bit of a push to call this a Stout. Much more like a watery dark mild. Dont get me wrong it’s not awful, just very bland.
