Black, black as. Nice tan head.

Aroma malty (!), sorry not enough adjectives.

flavour was nice, dry, no sweetness.

A nice beer, am not a habitual stout drinker, and certainly not in summer, but enjoyed this. Think i look for more body in a stout, outmeal perhaps, but looking forward to bottle #2, thank you

Looks like a dry stout. Good flavour, and maybe there's that soured wort showing a little. A bit sweet. We feel the aroma is a bit muddled, perhaps the choice of hop and use of soured wort interferes with the normal roasty aroma one might expect.

Cheers.

Righto - I've been holding off long enough on these swappers, and seeing a whole bunch of keen brewers in one place today has inspired a bit of action....and what a way to start.

Deep dark black in the glass and the colour of good strong coffee when I hold it up to the light. The head is a dense light tan meringue that stays and stays, dragging itself down the glass.  Not much aroma - maybe a wisp of sweet malt and ash.  Light and crisp and a hint of sourness but nothing  overpowering.  There isn't as much immediate or lingering roast flavour as I expected which makes this beer sit at the lighter end of dry stout for my palate.  This is immensely quaffable and well brewed (no faults that I could detect), but for my mind I'd go with  more roast flavour to amp it up a bit.  Thanks Tom - appreciated and gone all too quickly!
