Brewery: Wantsum
Style: Stout
ABV: 5.5%
Location: Canterbury, Kent
Aroma: Fruity with a hint of smoke, come wood coming through in the background. Perhaps hints of hedgerow fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberries.
Colour: Jet black, with a thin tan coloured head that quickly dissipated.
Taste: Faints levels of fruit, some sweetness, mildly smokey, dissapointingly watery in its mouthfeel despite the use of Oatmeal which doesn't carry through and effects the overall experience. There is some roasted malt there, but its not too potent. The flavours don't try hard enough in this beer to make much of an effect.
Verdict: A pitiful excuse for a stout, the use of Oatmeal is at least sparing as it doesn't add much to its mouthfeel. The flavours are faint and difficult to detect in the scheme of things. Despite some promising initial aromas, this beer does not deliver.
Rating: 4/10
