Northampton Black Cat Stout

I love this beer. very dark chocolate, cofee with a sweet sugary finish. you can almost feel the sugar in you teeth when ur finished but it is delicious

My Bottom Line:
Dark chocolate sweetness and roasted coffee beans are diversified by the diligent fruitiness of dates in this quaffable and satisfying Stout.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A rich head of foam protects the pitch black.
-The prominent roastiness verges on vegetal notes in the aroma.
-The body is silky and chewy while never being burdensome.
-The finish is rather quiet with its fragile roasted malt bitterness and whispering chocolate sweetness.

On tap at brewery. Dark black with tan head. Roasty malt. Flavours of chocolate, coffee and oats. Really smooth. Quite enjoyable. I felt it was a bit too overwhelming --almost there.

This is a full bodied stout that pours jet black. It has notes of coffee and bitter choclate on the nose and them these flavors roll into the palate where a bit more of the roasted flavors come out. This then drives into a creamy finish.

On-tap at the brewery. Roast aroma, medium mouthfeel, black. Not great representative of the style.
