Tasting notes24 Of Ours
Crowned the world's best speciality beer 2009. This is alcoholic coffee!

Mrs Otto says Almost black colour, roast malt and chocolate aroma, shock horror this tasted a bit like a strong coffee with some hint of chocolate. Just a slight bit of hop bitterness towards the end. A Very good stout.

BlackjackStout5Pitch black with foamy head. Chocolate and malt aroma. Malt with liquorice, chocolate and caramel. Good!
Deeply ValeDV84.8It might turn you to the dark side this winter ;) Drink deeply!
FranklinsPudding Stout4.2This is the ultimate stout. With an added touch of oatmeal giving it a dark and smooth silkiness that makes it eminently drinkable. Notes of coffee and vanilla provide this beer with an after dinner taste and rich aroma.
