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

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.

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.

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.

Pours a nice black coulour which can give u a head with a short swirl. Aroma is just burnt malt. Taste is similar with no distingwishing features sticking out at all, though a little fruit comes towards the end as with the aroma too. Juts another not so good ale from this brewary.

A stout that comes in a clear bottle... almost black in colour with a small beige head. The aroma is dominated by the roasted malts. Flavor is almost smoked with notes of coffee. Palate is rather thin.

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.
