MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 16, 2010
A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s "Has anyone seen my stool?" tasting.
Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of strange fruit and flowers with a touch of moss. Tastes of moss and general countryside type stuff. It’s like something that would come out of a small river. Not fun.

Bottle at ChrisO "I’m Trying to see the Stool" pre GBBF2010 tasting. Everyone said it tastes of moss. I got chocolate and thought the beer was fine.

31st July 2010. ChrisOs Pre GBBF - ’Raise The Roof’ tasting. Clear dark brown beer with a little tan head. All downhill from there - sourish nose. Dusty watery malt accompanied by some weird and horrible tastes (I think Mes said ’moss’ and that fits). Finishes dry. Horrible!

Bottle Conditoned, 500ml. Jet black with tan head. This is a very decent dry stout indeed. Chalky, burnt and full with chocolate undertone. Finishes with a good hop note. Lovely.
