Bottle... This is one of the best stouts I have ever had. Poured a deep black with a light brown, frothy head. A nice smoked, cocoa-like, malt aroma. The palate is really creamy and foamy. Almost like taking a sip of a latte... very silky. Flavors of choclate and other sweets, barley, caramel, malt and a little hops. Dry finish with a nice aftertaste that has a lingering cookie/oatmeal flavor. This is definitely a must have beer.

Oct 10, 2008 55cl. Aroma is rich with roasted chocolate malt--lightly sweet and deep with very mild hop aromas. Caramel head quickly swallowed by the beer. Pleasantly sweet with a balanced bittern finish. It’s a bit viscous and has a very even and pleasing mouth feel. I don’t want it to end.

Oct 10, 2008 Black in color with a medium sized light brown head. The aroma is of oats, chocoalte and alcohol. The flavor is suprisingly sweet for a stout, with notes of coffee, oats and chocolate. The palate is creamy. Overall I’d say its a very good stout. The english sure know how to make a good beer...I’M A FAN!

Oct 9, 2008 Pours black (obviously) with a tan head that settles quickly. Aroma is of wood smoked malt, fruit, coffee, licorice, and brown sugar. Taste is of sweet chocolate malt, a little hop tang followed by a silky oatmeal finish. Wow! This is amazing. Paired with some raw oysters and clams my wife brought home - I was in heaven!
