Hand-pulled pint in the excellent Sir Robert Peel in Tamworth on 17th Nov 13.
The name gives away the colour, flavour and style: yes, this is a black stout with a malty molasses treacle type taste and aroma. It is also known as 'Blacklocust', luckily it has no locust feel to it!
Looked fine in the UK pint sleeve, a good, lasting full blanket of foam topped off the jet black body.
The aroma wasn't strong but it did have a sweet molasses lead with a mild coffee and chocolate smell behind the aforementioned treacle esters.
The semi-sweet nose turns into flavours and they carry the beer along nicely, medium bodied for a Stout, not really creamy or smooth, nor could you say it's robust, it just seemed right.
Overall a well made Stout which I enjoyed.
