A deeply flavoured oat stout, one of the blackest beers around with a remarkable amount of flavour.

[1] Review by jonmoore from United Kingdom who has tried this beer a couple times. (10/1/2005 7:17:33 PM)
"Cask at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Black with a creamy tan head. Aroma is great; fruit, coffee, roast malts. Taste is even better, coffee, vanilla ice cream, roast malts and more. I consider this to be a porter (like Sigmund). Best new (to me) dark cask beer I’ve tried for a long time."

[2] Review by Sigmund from Hafrsfjord, Norway who has tried this beer once. (6/1/2005 6:41:41 PM)
"Cask conditioned at the St. Radegund pub, Cambridge. Dark, nearly black colour. Fruity (plums) and some smoke in the aroma and flavour. Decent. More like a porter than a stout in my book, but who cares?"
