Bottle, 500ml. A dark brown/black colour with a medium-sized brown head. Aroma of bready malts, chocolate, caramel and a little sour citrus. A very malty taste with bitter chocolate and caramel. Only slightly sweet. Cocoa and the usual Tarka sour citrus in the finish. Moderate carbonation. This has echos of Youngs Double Chocolate Stout, but isn’t as sweet and doesn’t have anything added to give the chocolate flavour. Generally I find that the typical Tarka sourness present in all their brews diminishes the beer, but in Black Hen it adds an interesting extra dimension to the flavour. I’ll be sure to have this again.
