Just bleep this is dangerous. Definitely not a bedtime beverage, even on a Friday.

Fairly hefty roasted malt and chocolate aroma which has a slight smoky quality to it, tastes quite sweet with a proper hit of caramel, chocolate, oak and raisins, finish is dry and relatively short but flavourful. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable, rich but easy to drink stout, it's a shame they've dropped the abv but it's still really nice.

Strong, tasty stout with liquorice in the flavour. Very good.

Pours jet black with a sustained but thin head.the taste is strong, befitting this +10% stout. More character than a soap actor in a panto, and more taste than an interior decorator. I like it.

Cheeky little Sunday evening tipple. Pours jet black with no head. The taste is full and with bitter liquorice and molass undertones.

Smooth and syrupy, almost pudding-like, but with just the right fizz for a great balance. Coffee, liquorice and fruit are all kept in check and nothing tastes forced or fake. Loads of rich, tasty molasses make the finish just a touch too sweet for my taste, but not sickeningly so - reign that sugar in a tad and this would be near perfect. My new favourite supermarket stout. A good wine-aged single malt (like a Dalmore) would back this up beautifully, cutting through most of the sweetness and leaving just a hint behind.

10.5% of dark deliciousness 🖤

...but the Imps asleep! Lovely deep black, with a smooth, oh so smooth, taste.
