Poured a deep, dark, blackish brown color with a medium sized tan head that left no lacing on the glass. Aroma of lactose, roasted malts, and light chocolate. Taste was sweet, lactose, caramel, roasted malts, smoke, and a bit of chocolate in the finish.

dark brown/black appearance with tan head. mouthfeel is full yet light. carbonation is somewhat high for a stout. flavor is full of roasted and chocolate malt with a nice hop balance with a creaminess that persists before a dry finish. a very nice sweet stout. reminds me of bells double cream stout, but not quite as good

rugbydude05 (452) - Bridgewater, New Jersey, New Jersey, USA - JAN 7, 2008
12 oz bottle, pours a dark brown creamy color with little head. Looks appetizing the second you start pouring it. Aroma wasnt that strong, maybe a bit roasty. Flavor is very sweet- perhaps a bit too sweet for my taste but the palate is outstanding. You can taste it as you swallow and the aftertaste is very palatable. Very good option.

marcus (3776) - Sacramento, California, USA - JAN 7, 2008
This dark brown ale poured with a decent brown fluffy head. The flavor is sweet roasted malt with chocolate and coffee elements and a fine bitter finish. This is my favorite British stout.

Pours to a dark beer with aromas of caramel and roasted chocolate. Initial taste roasted malts and the finish was creamy and coffee-ish. Very good stout.

demitriustown (877) - Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA - JAN 6, 2008
12 oz bottle: Nice roasted malt aroma with a bit of caramel, coffee and toffee. Appearance is black with nice thick sized tan head the lingers around for while. Taste is a somewhat milky chocolate taste with the roasted malt and caramel coming through on the back end of the taste. Palate is somewhat carbonated, sweet, and has somewhat of a malt overtone. Overall, this is a really drinkable stout. People who don’t like stouts this would be something to bring them over, and people who do like stouts like myself. It’s still pretty darn good. Cheers!!
