Jan 27, 2005 Bottled (BB 05/2005)
Dark ruby color with small creamy brown head. fresh hoppy "menthol-nose". Mouthfeel starts hoppy then turns roasted with hints of licorice. Palate is quite watery. Light roasted aftertaste. Ok as a session beer but not much more.

Jan 19, 2005 Bottled. Thinner than a very thin thing; washy black body, evaporating head, pallid coffee tones and no enjoyable palate. Really disappointing for a Wychwood beer.

Jan 6, 2005 Bottle from Metro Wines, Syston, Leics. Rather thin looking Stout, with no head. Tinny flavour, with a nasty aftertaste. Metal all the way, lacking thickness, or stickiness. Not great.

Dec 17, 2004 Agree with Silk, it’s a mild. So why call it stout? Very dark brown. Aroma coffee, chocolate, caramel, malt, all quite subdued. Thin mouthfeel, short finish. Did they say hops? Exactly how much is a broomful?

Dec 12, 2004 very impressed with this one. dark stout with a very sweet initial taste that quickly changes to the more common bitterness. aftertaste does not overpower; light enough to have more than one during the same sitting

Dec 1, 2004 Chalky roastiness and licorice and chocolate in the aroma. Darkest brown with thin tan head that recedes to partial cover. Sweet milk chocolate flavour with mint and licorice notes and some light roasty bitterness in the salty finish. Smoky character to the aftertaste. Medium-light body is perhaps a touch watery. Bottle (clear).

Nov 22, 2004 500 ml clear glass bottle. Black licorice color, thick lasting tan head and thick lace. Simple, sweet chocolate candy aroma with a touch of vanilla. Dark chocolate in the mouth, licorice and a hint of mint, late finishing bitterness, thin body, a bit of unpleasant lactic sourness...a mixed bag, but OK overall I guess, not undrinkable anyway.

Nov 18, 2004 A stout? Not in my mouth - pours like a dark ale, very dark with ruby edging and a thin frothy tan head. Not much aroma, although it had something resembling some coffee and malt. Same with the flavour - too thin by far and not a lot of richness. Mild coffee and chocolate and perhaps some licorice. Quick slightly bitter finish. Bland.
