Bottled, 500ml from Tesco, Uttoxeter, Staffs. Dark brown with cream head. Quite a rich malty, roasty beer, decent fullish palate with a liquorice aftertaste. Good depth, liked it.

# 3302 ersma: die brauerei mag ich, weil sie gerne zutaten verwendet, die nicht dem reinheitsgebot entsprechen, aber stets sehr gut zu den bieren passen. in diesem fall koriander und orangenschalen. tiefschwarz mit mittelviel, eher flüchtigem schaum. der geruch ist röstmalzig mit lakritz, kaffe und gebrannten nüssen. der antrunk ist ebenso röstmalzig mit aromen von kaffee, lakritz und dörrpflaume. die mitte bringt einen schwung hopfen mit, dessen herbe die aromen unterstreicht. der abgang bringt mehr malzigkeit mit, bei deutlicher herbe. noten von kaffe und sehr dezenter fruchtigkeit (die orangenschalen?). koriander schmeck ich nicht wirklich heraus. die flasche ist ansehnlich. fazit: rundes stout mit merkwürdigem namen. probierenswert. 10,12,11,11,12,11 - 10,95 - 9/5
