A-Deep, dark coffee brown with lighter edgings. A large ruddy brown cap rose up and then reduced to a thin cap and left copious lace.

S-Earthy roasted malt and a chocolate pudding like aroma. Nose is mild and subtle.

T-Surprisingly roasty, toasty malt profile with a nice sharp bitter bite. Notes of chocolate and coffee in the background. This contained more flavour than the aroma would let one to believe.

M-Medium-light bodied making it feel a bit thin. Not as robust as I would like. Decent chocolate bitterness in the aftertaste.

D-For a "bargain" beer....less than $2/bottle....this is a pretty darn good beer. Not as rich and robust as I prefer but overall a decent brew. I would certainly put a few of these my cellar.

From old, undated notes; poured from the bottle.

Black in color, slight ruby at the edges.

Khaki head, dissipates quickly.

Cream and oats in the nose.

Cream & coffee in the taste; very smooth for a stout. Raw oats as well. Slight metallic aftertaste; far from overwhelming.

Subtle flavors in here; I could see this as a 'summer stout', or one to give beer newbies. A touch too watery for my taste, but if offered one I wouldn't refuse.

Pours a soft, dense head that is tan. Bright floral hops burst with a touch of toasted malt. Black. Starts a bit tart but rich and toasted. Moves into a slight metallic twinge as the floral hops bring up bitterness. Finish is nice, toasted malt. There's a slight almost astringent aspect hidden around.

This isn't too bad. A bit thinner than I like my stouts, and the metallic/astringent quality isn't my favorite.

Actually, seeing this is a "Sweet stout" makes it jump a good half a point in score...though I'm not huge on sweet stouts.

Take my score with a grain of salt. I have zero idea what a "London Sweet Stout" should taste like, hahah
