3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Fairly standard stout - looks great, roasted malt dominates with some hint of coffee, and then you get a hint of port coming through in the finish. Could probably have stronger flavours and be better, but still a good and enjoyable beer.
