The aroma is very nice, chocolate, roasted coffee, licorice, hops. The appearance is true to the style, dark brown, tan head. The flavor is a little dissapointing: raosted malts, soy, molasses. Unexpectedly thin mouthfeel, really detracts form the experience. The finish is non existent, just some fleeting roasty flavor. This beer started out strong when opened, and went downhill from there.

500 ml. bottle shared with peter. Pours a thin almost nonexistant head, over a clear albit with a number of floaters, very dark brown black body....nose is coffee,cocoa,soy sauce, beef......taste is of roasted malts, (coffee, cocoa), beef, bit of soy......mouth feel is light. Over all this is pleasant but not as rich in mouth feel as the usual Oatmeal Stout, The floaters may indicate a too old bottle.

I like the Double Chocolate stout a lot better. But this is by no means anything bland.

On tap at Woolpack Inn, Karlstad as "Youngs London Stout". Pours a black color with a very nice light-brown head leaving some lacing on the glass. Very inviting look. Aroma feels very roasted malty of dark chocolate, liquorice and coffee. Flavour is quite dry with a light fruitiness, dark chocolate, liquorice and coffee. Light to mediumbodied, but very smooth. A nice and drinkable, "sessionable" stout, though it’s a bit thin ...

Dark pour with a fluffy beige head and spotty lace. Big bittersweet chocolate aroma. Thin mouth-feel. Licorice, chocolate, espresso, and a fruity finish

TAP: nitro tap, rich roasty chocolate nose, smooth but not too heavy, some dark fruit in the taste. Pretty good.

Crushed with Jakebra. Huge aroma of dark and sweet chocolate. Not as much in the flavor. The nitro kinda kills it. It’s aight. The nose is the standout in this brew big time.
