Beer is poured at 13c and has a wonderful flavor of chocolate, vanilla with mild smokey undertones that lay well upon the middle tongue. Mild yet very acceptable beer to find at a local store for a reasonable far in Devon. Cheers !

Presentation - Comes in a 500ml brown glass bottle with a funky angry Jack Russel on the label. The beer is also bottle conditioned in Devon so it has a sediment that should not be poured!
Appearance - Dirty brown colour with slight ruby leanings. It has an initial foam head that unfortunately dies a little too quickly for my liking but is not entirely uncommon for English Stout as I have come across a number that do this also.
Smell - There are great notes of chocolate and toffee malts that lean towards the bitter and burnt end of things. There are also some elements of a sweet creaminess to this that remind me very much of a milk Stout.
Taste - Bitter, sweet and sour in equal measures this beer has a lot of depth and character to the flavour profile. Like the smell there are things in here that remind me of milk stout but there is also a faint sulphur element providing some sour kicks to the sweet toffee, bitter chocolate and toasty malts that make this beer a winner in my opinion.
MF - Slightly thin to be honest even for the style which is known to be thinner that milk or Irish stouts. However it gets away with it just by virtue of good linger and a great drying finish.
Overall - This beer is full of flavour depth and character and is one I will seek out again if I am able to find it at a reasonable price locally.
