Bottle sent from secret Santa cgarvieuk. Great big foamy beer that actually foamed out the top of the bottle. Dark beer with an oppressively foamy brown head. Very lively on the tongue. Nose of some smoke and puffed wheat cereal. Flavor of welcoming camp fire, molasses and dark brown sugar sweetness, and the puffed wheat cereal. Licorice and burnt coffee in the finish. Tasty but subtle smoked beer. Too much carbonation. Thanks to Craig for sharing.

Bottle thanks to Cgarvieuk, thanks Craig. Black beer with lasting beige head. Oatmeal stouty aroma. Yes a pretty tasty stout. Bit strange on the finish. Mind you, I don’t drink tea. Starts well and tails off a bit, but I think that is the tea. Anyway, thanks a lot Craig its been a huge amount of fun drinking with you.

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Unclear very dark reddish brown with a big and lasting beige head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, chocolate and tea. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. Cheers, Craig. 120113

Stopped regular rating 22nd Oct 2012 but a very big thanks to Craig for sending me this beer to help celebrate his 10,000th, my first beer of 2013 had this 1st January 2013 Pours almost black in colour with a very busy tan head, really lively. Tangy and fruity with some watery coffee flavours and a light smokiness and a bit of wet baccy. In truth I am finding this a little thin and watery, just like a black tea I guess :-) which is also something I am not a great fan of. Fine, but not totally my thing, but I am very, very grateful for Craig for passing this beer on, cheers Craig and well done on the milestone. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0
