Wholesome Stout, which was voted Supreme Champion at the CAMRA Winter Beer Festival 2002 is produced using only the finest ingredients available.

The Stout is flavoured with Northdown hops which give a dry resinous taste.

Good mild coffee taste to this stout.Mile coffee aroma.This was a stout that I truly enjoyed every taste that I took and that's saying something about this stout as I do not enjoy the extremely strong coffee taste that is typical of stouts.Give me a mild tasting stout and I am happy!

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a crazy huge head that filled 2/3 of the pint glass. It took me about three pours to finally get all the beer out of the bottle. Aroma is of chocolate, a bit of roastiness and coffee. Flavor is the same, more sweet than I’d like, not nearly enough roastiness or bitterness to balance it out. Certainly drinkable, but not what I am looking for in a stout at all.

Bottled. Poured clear, medium reddish-brown with an explosive cap of beige head that filled up the glass. The aroma picked up sweeter caramel and chocolate notes with a mild, dry detergent presence.. decent. The flavor had dry-roasted chocoate with light coffee bitterness surrounding.. toasted barley and more chocolate at the end. Light-medium bodied, dry, and grainy on the palate with a short finish.. creamy carbonation made it kinda hard to drink.

Pours dark brown with huge lively head. Aroma is roast and a bit of chocolate. Flavor is very sweet with loads of chocolate. Dry on the finish, and a bit light on the palate.

500ml bottle purchased at Wilderness Wines in Rangeley, Maine. Pours a clear, cola like brown with a Huge, frothy tan head. Nose was chocolate with an odd metallic scent in the background. Palate was dry and thin. Ms. Goodbody could use a little more body. Flavor was the usual dry stout flavors, molasses, semi sweet chocolate & some coffee. Decent, but uninspired.
