3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A black beer with a dark brown head - that disappears extremely fast (the fastest I've seen). Second to none aroma - slight hints of smoke. The flavor is strictly opposite. It's smooth with powerful notes of tar, smoke, and rope to start of, then a little thin in the middle (for a stout), but it ends on a smoked dry bitterness. A great stout.

Very dark brown. Sweetish, roasty aroma. Thinnish body...this always bugs me, but especially in a meaty beer like a stout. Slightly oily, chocolatey. Sweetish finish.

Cask gravity Canterbury beer festival. Aroma of molasses flavour is drier, good mouth feel, finish is dry . It is almost, but not quite there. Chewy malts with some coffee

BLACK black beer, with minimal head or carbonation. Sweet slightly roasty aroma. Flavorwise, a trifle thin, but decent english-style stout. Smooth, pretty mild aftertaste, but one that lingers.

As the Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival wasn’t open all afternoon, this was one of the beers I missed out on through lack of time. So I was very pleased to wander into the Queens Head just down the road and find this on handpump. Lets get the criticism out of the way first. It’s not the fullest bodied stout, a little watery if anything. Apart from that, I thought this was a pretty decent stout with a pronounced coffee aroma. Plenty of smoky malt and chocolate in the flavour. Decent stuff. \Not sure I’d have had this down as a sweet stout though.
