L- Appears properly black, as often though held to a bright light and it's very dark ruby red. 15mm pillowy thick mid-tan head. (Holds well, right through me drafting this whole review).
S- Seems mild, just a bit of the toasty-roasty.
T- Light, brightish hops into quite dark roast and then a somewhat smokey/toasty lick in the finish.
F- Punchy flavour comes with quite a light body, well it is 4.1%
O- Nicely done for a stout, SO much more to it than that well known factory stout from o'er the waters. My bottle is directly ex-fridge and on a 25C/sunny day I'm finding this surprisingly refreshing.

Bottle. Pours almost black with a frothy tan head which recedes quickly.
An understated roasted malt aroma with a bit of liquorice.
Sweetish with a mild bitter finish. Lightly toasted white bread.
Light to medium body for a stout with a soft carbonation.
Typical ES.

Bevis Maun is drinking a Hobgoblin Stout by Wychwood Brewery
Bottled and part of a box set that was a present for services rendered. Pours a jet black body with nice tan head. Aroma is dry nuts and nutty dry. Flavour is that. Very thin should be Hobgoblin porter
