3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
[500ml bottle, gift from my wife - cheers!] Deep brown-black with a large beige head. Creamy smooth mouthfeel, flavour dominated by milk chocolate with raisins nestling behind, and just a vague hint of spiciness (ginger?). There’s little bitterness; it’s more like a mild than a stout and if you think of it as a mild it’s rather a good one. Maybe just a tad thinner than I’d like, but enjoyable nevertheless.
