Bungay, England

Dark brown with ruby highlights in color and a small tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel malts,toffee,coffee notes and roasted malt. Flavor is fruity,sweet, roasted malt,coffee,chocolate and mellow hops. Body is is creamy and medium-full.

A very nice, coffee falvored, hopped beer. A very satisfying beer. Not overwhelmingly anything, but at least satisfying.

I enjoyed this stuff. Poured a dark brown with a pretty good (but fizzy) tan head. Nice chocolate, coffee, malt, caramel aroma. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, hops, a little fruit, and oats. Medium mouthfeel.

It came in a bottle shaped like a pint whiskey flask, I couldn’t resist. The first pour was into a 12 oz. glass. The head disappeared before I set the bottle down. A strong malt flavor filled and coated my mouth. It was smooth with strong coffee and chocolate characteristics. The late arriving hops mellowed out the flavorand left a pleasant aftertaste. It seemed flat, lacking in carbonation. Foreshadowed by the lack of a head. Perhaps I had a bad bottle.

Dark brown, almost black, with a thick ligt brown foam. Tones of licorice, coffee and chocolate. Medium to full body with long bitter finish.

Pours a thick black with a flimsy but very tall light brown head. Smells more of chocolate than it tastes. Earthy hazelnut, chocolate and coffee with fruity undertones. Leaves a bit of a lingering bitterness, but worth it. Very drinkable and enjoyable and the flask bottle is a nice touch.

Pours very black with a brown creamy head. Sweet caramel, chocolate and dark cherry aroma. Mouthful is very sweet and thick, flavour of mocha, fruits. Sweet and bitter oatmeal finish.

Over here on the West Coast, we have a lot of hoppy beers. Thus, when I think stout beer, I think of lots of bitter. This was a lot smoother than what I am used to, and I enjoyed that. It had the coffee and chocolate, but with a gentle approach.
