Rune (1635), Tromsų, Norway Sep 4, 2008 Half pint, hand-pulled cask at The Pembury Tavern in Hackney. Off-white bubbles at the rim of the glass. The body is black like coal. Dark malty aroma with some kind of tartness to it. Flavoured with black coffee malt and the sweetness of chocolate. Bitter fruits in the finish. A pleasant stout for its low alcohol strength (12.08.2008). maeib (3958), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Aug 4, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - Wig & Pen Northampton. A deep black coloured beer with a wisp of whitish head. The aroma has smoky, roasted malts. The flavour is fruity and nicely burnt. A very good beer which no longer mentions the word stout on the label as per the picture to the left. I considered it to be a roasty very decent mild. Ethereal (894), London, Greater London, England Aug 3, 2008 Cask at Kingston BF, 28th June 2008, with renffisch. Near black with a line of cream head. The nose has vinous notes and dark malt too. In the mouth, you get rich, bitter roasted malt and charcoal. The finish is smooth and this is not a bad stout. Bragesnak (1208), Aarhus, Denmark Jun 14, 2008 Thorups, Aarhus, DK
