Abv: 4.8% Style: Flavoured stout Bottle size: 500ml Website: www.bartramsbrewery.co.uk Country: England Brewery : Bartrams Brewery
Price:  Reviewed in: Beers of the World Issue 8
Nose : Chocolate, smoked malt and damsons.
Palate : Bitter dark malts dominate, with lots of chocolate and coffee flavours. Also smoky, with tart fruit notes.
Finish : Bitter, biscuity and dry with plain chocolate lingering. Surprisingly hoppy for a stout.
Comments : The bitterness, smoky notes and tart fruit don’t really come together. Not as smooth or as successful as the Cherry Stout (above) from the same brewery.
Score : 6.5
