[500ml bottle, The Bottle, York] Black with a cream-coloured head. Lovely deep malty aroma - very rich and roasty, some dark chocolate on the nose. Creamy mouthfeel, sweet vanilla on the palate before the roasted malt comes out in spades. At only 4.5% I could drink this all day - lovely [01112011]
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
In short: A little stout with a bit of everything a little session stout can have. Good beer
How: From a bottle at Mondial de la Bière 2011
The look: Near black body topped by a beige ring of foam
In long: Nose is a bit roasted, notes of chocolate and some baked fruits. Taste has toasted fruit cake, milk chocolate, some brownies, some fresh tobacco leafs. Low sweetness sensation. Mild bitterness. Body doesn’t feel thin at all even if it is a below 5% beer. This is a nice little session stout. It’s nice to see breweries like Hawkshead going organic, natural ingredients is good. I love nature. Despite what it id to me.
