Bottled. A deep red-brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of rosted malt, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours an opaque dark brown with a rough, light brown head. Aroma of tar and tobacco. Medium-bodied with very burned malt accents, salty licorice and a distinct malt bitterness. A strange Stout indeed. 031008

50 cL bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Pours dark brown with a small orange rim. Roasted malt and spiced aroma. Smooth chocolate and spiced flavoured with a light dry acidic roasted flavour coming through. Lingering acidic and spiced finish. Nice one.

Bottle, 6%. Sweet and creamy aroma. Almost black colour. Very small light brown head. OK roasted flavour, slightly bitter from the barley. Good mouthfeel. Not bad, but I expect more from style and ABV.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2011. Black as hell. Thick beige head. Liquorice burnt engine oil on aroma. Great condition in the mouth. Some fish oil. Dry on end. Everything about this beer should make me not like it. But I do. I love the dry roast finish. Rather distinctive. The dark roast dark choc comes thru. Odd individual but likeable.

Cask Handpump at the Harlequin, Sheffield 24/11/2007 Roast malt aroma. Tan head. Black and strong in alcohol with a crisp and slightly dry fruity bitter finish.

Bottle at home ... Thanks to Fin for the Londis Garage 300 bottle selection recomendation... Deep black ... sour roast nose ... ineterestingly the sourness isnt present in flavour ... deep roast ... quite sweet ... light hop ... little chalky in mouthfeeel ... smooth roast

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Dark brown with creamy head. Quite a smokey, ashy, tobacco aroma leading to a liquorice, sourish, tarry flavour. Sweetness in the background, a little artificial. An odd beer but fairly drinkable.

Bottle. Dark brown with a thin head. Aromas are woody and dry with roast malts ans alcohol. Flavours are woody and very dry with dark chocolate and toffee malts with bitter coffee. Quite vinous with ashtray smokiness. Dry on the finish.
