3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20On draft in some pub in Glasgow, UK. Black appearance, brown head. Nose of roasted malts, some coffee. Bitter flavor, roasted malts again, very dry. Bitter finish. Nice, although not really my favorite style.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Keg @ Doocot, Edinburgh [160513]
Very dark brown black, dense nitro tan head, some lacing
Aroma of dry roasted malts, some roasted barley, not a lot on the nose
Taste of dry roasted malts, quite bitter roast, some dark chocolate malts with a dab of dark sweet malts
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, fairly bitter palate. Finish as main flavour with a fairly dry bitter roast tail and some bitter chocolate.
Overall - This is superior to Guinness, more flavour and a bit stronger. Maybe the finish is a tad over bitter.

Cask@Swan and Three Signets, Durham. Black beer with a strong head. The aroma is lightly roasted with some bitterness. The flavour is dry with roasted'ness. Overall a reasonable stout.

Keg in the Cock Tavern W1. Quite dark black, thick nitro head, I’ve seen this before. Served a little too cold. A classic example of dry stout, very very dry, quite an intense roasted bitter flavour, long coffeeish bitter finish. As others have mentioned, very similar to Guinness but I think there’s way more flavour in this.

Pint at the White Horse Inn in Beverley. Black with a creamy head. Chocolate roasted malt aroma. Very roasted, smooth and tasty.

Nov 2012 - on tap. Very similar to guinness - smooth, little smokey and watery. Nice enough, but nothing exciting.

Draught at Princess Louise, Holbrook, London dec 2012. Dark brown beer with a creamy tanned head. Coffee, dark chocolate and tar aroma. Similar flavour, nice creamy. Too much bitter coffeetaste for me...

15th January 2013
Old Anchor, Tower Bridge. Clear but very dark brown beer. Good luxuriant cream coloured head. Palate is soft and dry. Dry dark malt with dry roasty bitterness. Offset by estery bubblegum and a little malt cream. The bitterness in the dry finish is both roast malt and hops. A robust low stout for it’s abv.

Bottle and Draught. Great brew by the Yorkshire masters. This is a particularly dry stout. A great example of the style.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Half-pint, keg at Princess Louise. Nitro creamy white head resting over a jet black. Solid amount of lacing down the glass. Slightly roasted, half-sweet malts to the nose. The taste promotes chocolate malts with a little roastiness. Nice bitter coffee ending. Decent stout (London, 04.11.2012).
