Bottle from brewer 12 Stouts 2012 141212
Black, massive tan head that dissipates to thin layer, some lacing
Aroma of roasted malts, touch of burnt crust, hint of yeast
Taste as aroma, lots of roasted malts, dab of burnt crust, touch of bitter chocolate, rich dark malts, some brown leaves
Palate - Soft carb, light to medium body, quite a smooth texture. Finish is considerably dry, quite strong roasted malts and light burnt crust in the linger
Overall - It’s exactly what the bottle says - a dry stout. It’s pretty good too and gets better with the drinking

Dark brown with fine bubbles and light tan head. Fruity dark beer with smooth body and lightly smoky blackcurrant. Slight roast barley and coffee in finish. More caramel notes as it warms. Quaffable enough but much better in the modified forms.

12 stouts of Christmas 2012 tasting with Craig and Ben. Pours a very dark brown colour with a decent, light tan head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and Weetabix. Similar flavours with mild carbonation and a creamy mouth-feel.

Bottle, thanks Craig. Black with yellow tan head. aroma of chocolate, caramel, toffee. Taste is nicely roasty, caramel and toffee. Decent body with a dry finish. Nice

Second up out of the 12 stouts selection crate....creamy, very deep ruby appearing pitch with a well-retained yellow-tan collar. Decaying leaves, iron, puffed rice, light burnt toast and sulphur aroma. Good solid, well-roasted, chocolatey dry stout with hints of soapiness, (very) dark orange chocolate and roasted nuts. Something slightly maritime and salty in there too. Wholesome, easy-drinking, well roasted stuff.
