appearance- poured into a boston lager sig glass...good beige to light brown head. ok retention that dissipates to a thin layer that on top of the beer constantly, without going away. Appearance isn't that impressive, it looks like it should.
The nose is actually a tiny bit hoppy on top of the roasty, nutty, caramel and brown sugar notes. The tiny bit of hoppyness is of the low alpha acid variety, possibly noble hops, maybe east kent goldings? but that's just a guess. You also have the typical brown sugary roasty coffee and chocolate notes that come with a stout. slightly alcohol pungent.
The taste is good. A shade hoppy for a moment, then there is a very nutty thing going on with the malt side of things on top of a bit of cocoa flavor-powdery bitter cocoa, not sweet cocoa. The hoppy character in the nose translates to great balance in the middle. No overbearing hoppiness in the middle which is right where it should be for this style, up front but not lingering.
The finish is very roasty. Finishes like a great cup of dark roast coffee taken black.
Overall this beer has a great malt bill all around. the malt bill definitely has a full range of roasts of malt, light medium and dark roasted malts up front and a balanced bit of noble hops. good stuff, I'd buy it again.

Nice stout. Very dark pour. Earthy nose. Taste is malt upfront with roasted nuts, caramel and brown sugar notes, slght hops come thru in the end.

Great English stout. Subtle hints of coffee, balanced nicely with roasted barely. Helltown makes some nice stuff. I'd recommend checking them out if you havent. This beer is similar to a breakfast stout, but without a super high ABV. Overall a nice drinkable stout!!! It's not mind blowing, but definitely meets the expectations.
