Appearance: Dark brown, never quite approaches black. And has a Chalky khaki one finger of head with not much for lace or retention.
Aromatics: Smells run of the mill date and fig with some molasses and brown sugar sweetness and roast coffee and caramel. Not much of the hops shows through.
Taste: Rather mild (slightly watery - which makes all the flavours shallow and under developed) coffee bitter with hints of pure dry cacao a little bit of smokiness, which could just be subliminal thing, my mind is interpreting from the label. And a final bit of scorched earth and charred wood as the flavours start to recede.
Mouth: A thinner middleweight. Not really as "stoutish" creamy as it could be. It's lower ABV is also something I'm not used to in a stout. The carbonation is faint but there is moderate intensity in in the finish which is balanced more on the bitter side of things but cleans up with only the mildest of cardboard dryness on the mid to back palate.
Overall: An ok stout. Good for sessioning, but missing a lot of the things that I look for in a stout - mostly the creaminess and deeper richness in the flavours.
