Bottle. Black in colour with a great crusty brown head. Clings to the glass. Roasted flavour, a little thin but very pleasant. Bitter, but a change not to have a stout that wasn’t too sweet. Dry stout and enjoyable.

Bottle. Black and poured with a big head. Very lively upon pouring and started with a slight bitterness. Traces of burnt maltiness. A pleasant stout.

Deep red balck with no head, deep roast malt deepfruit malts with quite a lot of roast bitterness in linger

Bottled from Corks, Bristol. Near black, with a long-lasting, off-white head. Plenty of coffee in the aroma. Very smooth drinking with with flavours of raisins, dark chocolate and roasted notes. A long dry finish to a very good bottled beer.

Bottled (thanks omhper). Pitch black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is slightly roasted malts and some licorace. Flavour is roasted malts and slight hoppyness. Aftertaste is dry hops and some sweet malts.

BCA (From Bitter Virtue, BB Jul 07). Dry roastyness with liquorice. Dry biscuity malt flavours and pleasantly full earthy hops and hints of blackcurranty fruit. Very drinkable with a pleasant combination of hoppy and roasty bitterness in the finish. Very good for a UK BCA.

(Bottle, thanks omhper) Pours dark brown to black. Medium roasted aroma with liquorice, coffee and juicy dark bread. Roasted flavour with notes of liquorice. A bit salty and lightly burned. Rather smoth mouthfeel. Medium body.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2007 Bottled. Almost black, creamy head. Coffee is obvious in the nose. Dryish and buttery with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Richly malty, almost meaty with lingering bitterness and notes of tobacco. A good, well balanced stout. Kingstone is an excellent brewer!
