Damn this is dark as hell for a brew there is definately no chance that light will penetrate this stuff.It had absolutely no head.The aroma was malty and very smokey,and no carbonation at all that i can detect.The flavor was litely malty ,coffeeish,with a definate smoke flavor presence.The feel is smooth as hell no bite what so ever.With an after taste that is still a slight smoked coffee that seems to last for ever.This is buy far the most pleasant and drinkable stout i've had ever,and well deserves a rare but well deserved perfect score.

one of the best beers i've ever had, and certainly the best stout. so many tastes and smells that function independently and together. vanilla, smoke, roasty, warming, filling, smooth, rich, very drinkable and likeable. think sam smiths on steriods. please try to find this one!

Bottle conditioned. Powerful aroma of roasted malts coffee ice cream with undertones of chocolate. Completely opaque black with a thin coffee colored head. The first sip had me smiling like an idiot. Starts with a roasted flavor moving swiftly into very Fuggles-characteristic bitterness. Fades beautifully into strong dark mocha malts and a lingering touch hops. Masterfully crafted and delicious all the way. Too bad there was only one bottle left at the store or I’d drink this every night.

500 ml bottle conditioned real ale. Enormous thick tan head. Pitch black colour, even when held to the light. Very possibly the darkest beer in the world. Wonderful aroma of roasted malts, dark bitter chocolate, oak and cedarwood. Flavour is all smoked and heavily roasted malts and oats. A world class stout.

A very good stout. This rates up near the top in best stouts available. I was very nervous about the price ($5.00 a bottle) but it was well worth it. Loved the burnt smokey flavor. The chocolate and coffee were not over done. Just a perfect well rounded stout.
