Utter blackness, slim brown head. Fine looking stout.
In the nose: Some cocoa, traces of coffee, slightly sweet, but more dry. Promising.
In the mouth: Earthy. Hearty. Rich, chocolatey, with a shot of espresso. Nicely balanced. Soft, slightly sweet, full-bodied, adequately down able. Some spice popping in, a touch of cinnamon. (It's not in there, it's something I'm picking up.) Little bit of hoppiness board the palate.
I't's a good stout and you can drink it, but it lacks the warmth and charm that would draw me back for another.
A mid-war historic stout that was the precursor to today’s big, stronger stouts. Flavors and aromas of Italian espresso, toasty, husky bread, dark chocolate, rummy cherries, and roasted figs, swimming in a pool of citrus and pine needles.
