This stout looks awesome in the glass. It's so dark it's almost black with a rich syrupy likeness and a light brown foamy head. The nose was rather malty, as you might expect from the physical attributes I described earlier. The first taste seemed sharp to me, with an interesting balance between the chocolate malts and sharpness of the hops clearly coming through. The finish is long and dry but still sharp and clean. Very nice.

This is a nice contrast to Young's Double Chocolate Stout which is considerably smoother and sweeter. The Oatmeal has a nice clean bite to it that I like. I don't know that I would want to drink this one often but in my humble opinion this one is very good.

Keg. Almost black with a thick creamy head.
Robust aroma of charred toast and liquorice. Quite jarring.
Dark chocolate comes through upon tasting.
Quite thin but smooth nevertheless.
The forced dispensation does not do it any favours.

From Labirratorium. In Ikea's pint glass. Playing 12 Labors of Hercules 2. Pleasant soft coffee roastyness in both aroma and taste, with a good smooth feeling. Highly drinkable but I prefer the fuller's one.

Drier than I expected, this is definitely a dry stout all the way. I figured, why have a Guinness when there are lesser known beers to be tried? Similar in taste, but not quite as commonly available. Very big foamy head, some chocolate taste but not overpowered by it. Decent balance, though not my favorite type of stout.

On nitro in London. Creamy tan head. Lace. Color is near black.

Taste has a bitter chocolate flavor to it and has an off flavor that is slightly medicinal that I don't like.
Roasted malts. Fairly smooth and creamy.
