3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Nice with a truly english stout (i.e. only slightly carbonated, flat and malty)! Lack of carbonation gives way to a slowly building, sugar sweet alcoholic flavour that lingers for a long time. A bit bland smell, which improves along the way - but do I detect somewhat fleshy notes? Taste is caramel, cream, some liqourice and some smoke (though not too much) - all within the burned malt. All in all a nice and stouty beer, but not that outstanding.

Opaque black beer, residual tan head. Softish palate, a little dry and a little silky. Nice fruity dark malt, not bitter or dry. Tangy and with subtle roast and smoke. Unsweet dark chocolate. Finishes smooth with more tang and a touch of lactose. Nicely joined up and so very drinkable.
