COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered. Black Ale Ingredients: Pale malt; Roasted barley; Oats; Washington Galena, Worcester Fuggles and Kent Goldings hops. A superb, rich, full-bodied beer derived from a 1970s homebrewing recipe. Wickedly smooth chocolate dominates the flavour, which is nicely balanced by the bitterness of the hops.

mmmbeer (1695) - Austin, Texas, USA - FEB 15, 2024
UPDATED: FEB 15, 2024 12 oz can served in a shaker- poured a midnight black color when held to a light source, 1.5mm tan head formed, nominal lacing. Aroma of cocoa and a hint of vanilla. Hits the mouth pretty much right between the eyes, malt is WIDE and burnt to hell but loved every minute of it. Middle has cocoa in it, finish is a little rough. I like it!

ReuvenSmienk (863) - Houten, NETHERLANDS - APR 14, 2023
UPDATED: APR 14, 2023 Zeer donkerbruin bier waar zich bij het inschenken kortstondig een mokka kleurige schuimkraag op vormt. De geur is voornamelijk koffie en dat komt ook in de smaak naar voren, gevolgd door een stevige bitter. Het bier voelt in de mond vol aan hoewel er veel kleine koolzuur belletjes aanwezig zijn.

3.7
borderline_alco (423) - Durham, Durham, ENGLAND - MAR 20, 2023
UPDATED: MAR 21, 2023 330ml can. Pours dark brown with off white head. Flavour is semi dry, chocolate, burnt toffee, roasted malts, cream, treacle, dark fruits. A very complex undertone I can't describe. It's incredibly smooth and creamy, with a strong and rounded flavour, and isn't very sweet. Slightly oily though. Best drank straight from the can

ManVsBeer (19549) - Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, ENGLAND - MAR 19, 2023
UPDATED: MAR 19, 2023 Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Very dark clear brown with an off-white head. Mildly gritty stout, and whilst not quite feeling that stated is flavoursome and relatively smooth. Has a good associated aroma too.

3.3
a-beier (839) - DENMARK - FEB 10, 2023
UPDATED: FEB 10, 2023 Pitch black with brownish head. Smell of malt and a bit of wet dog. Taste of malt, coffee, dark bitter chocolate. Nice taste of dark, malty stout but the aroma.... Maybe an unlucky batch

3.5
bdleedahl (6772) - , NETHERLANDS - JUN 6, 2022
UPDATED: JUN 6, 2022 Classic english porter. Light and sharp and lager-like crispness. Some bitterness that gives it this. Bierkonig ams
