Not complex, but a really pleasant and drinkable stout. Classically burnt malt taste, some bitterness in the finish, nothing overbearingly strong though.

Cask conditioned at The Black Prince, Woodstock. Black with cream head. Darkly roasted, chocolate, coffee husk malts, buttering, dry. There is a background tartish fruitiness, but this may be due to the conditioning. Lasting on the palate. Good.

Very nice stout, reminded me of the "Double Chocolate Stout". Strong aroma of chocolate and coffee, brownish foam that goes away quickly, taste of chocolate and after-taste of bitter chololate with hints of coffee and cherry. A bit of light body.
