ABV: 5.4%

Served: Off the shelf

Aroma: Bog, mild malt toffee, chocolate

Pour: Deep black with a finger of light tan froth

Taste: Smooth smoky peat warmth on the wash, it’s all earth and turf with some light chocolate in there too. Low carbonation and a faint warm pinch at the finish. Caramel and spice on the aftertaste. This is an exemplary stout, the spice is like a fresh hit under hooking the smoke, feck me this is lovely altogether.

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Hay, grass, herb, slight lemon

Pour: Opaque gold with a finger of white froth

Brew #129: White Gypsy Russian Imperial Stout

ABV: 7%

Served: Off the shelf

Aroma: Roast coffee beans, smoke, malt

Pour: Cola black with a good finger and a half of light tan froth

Taste: Strong coffee and chocolate bites upfront with a lovely smoky flavour coming in underneath and then taking over altogether. Washes into a lightly roasted malt finish with an aftertaste of charcoal. Beautiful and surprisingly easy drinking. All that smoke is giving a whack of burgers off the barbeque.

Notes: 750ml bottle
