Appearance:
Pitch black beer with a thin creamy tan lace that lasts to the bottom.
Smell:
Caramel, toffee, roasted barley, coffee, mild fruity esters, faint sherri, grain and chocolate in the nose.
Taste:
A silky smooth texture and full-bodied robust beer with a very thick and even malt sweetness. Lots of roasted flavours up-front with a mildly sharp astringency and sherri-like flavours. Dark chocolate and fruits, light coffee, musty grain and a delicate touch of smoke follow. Hop flavours are hidden in with the bitterness of the roasted barley. Finishes dry with some roasted, smoke an chocolate in the aftertaste.
Notes:
A very nice, full and complex stout. The addition of oats also provides a unique fullness to this roasty beer. Most definitely worth a try for you stout lovers.
