No real big differences in this one with the Swan Valley Stout. Slightly sweeter and a little more carbonated, the roasted flavours not as strong, it had better head retention and the higher alcohol content covers up what is lacking in this style.

On tap at brewery: Opaque murky brown black sump oil with a medium beige tan head. Aroma is intriguing, smokey malts with touches of coffee and chocolate and even a hint of fruitiness and alcohol as it warms. Medium to light bodied. Medium strong roasted bitter/sweet malt flavours not quite masking the alcohol and hints of other less delightful organics (acetone??). Sweeter softer shortish finish. Once again good to see these guys have a go at this style even if it’s a work in progress.
