Poured a light reddish brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt and coffee grinds. Medium to watery body, flavour of sweet milk chocolate . A bit lacking, but pleasant enough.

On tap at Larbert beer festival sweet smooth stout with hints of chocolate and coffee with roasted malt also highly prominant easy drinking beer very nice

Bottle from Jenners, loch lomond shoreside. It pours black with a small beige head. The nose is coffee, roasted, bitter chocolate, earth and some dark fruit. The taste is roasted malt, coffee grinds, liquorice, cocoa powder, dark fruit and earth with a dry fruity finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Flavoursome and well balanced. Tasty stout.

500ml bottle. Dark black stout with coffee coloured head. Chocolatey aroma rich malty, chocolatey, roasted grain flavour with noticeable wheat in the mix. Very smooth on the palate and with balanced bitterness. A very nice stout.

Pours near opaque black with a small dark cocoa patchy head, aroma is salt liquorice coffee, taste is coffee, roasted dark malts, there's a sweetness which balances the bitter.

50cl bottle thanks to unstablefable. Pours opaque with a thin crema head. The nose has a savoury liquorice thing going on with a hint of coffee and salt too. The taste has black jacks (sweets from the 1980s) and some coffee though it’s a little bit lighter than the nose - more bark than bite a Andrew says! The palate is a medium body with a rich texture but then it falls off a cliff somewhat! Overall, good though!

[cask at Holyrood 9A, Edinburgh] Very deep brownish black pour, decent cream-coloured head. Very inviting aroma of smooth mocha and roasted barley. Toasted bread on the nose as well. Rich and chocolatey on the flavour, before the bready toasty bitterness comes out. Very smooth on the finish. A belter [07112012]
