Brewery: Ridgeway Brewery, Oxford, England - Imported by Shelton Brothers
Overview: Billed as a dark chocolate stout consolation prize for those too naughty to get anything else in their stocking.
Aroma: Dark fruit sweetness, some alcohol bite. Slight cocoa or caramel notes.
Appearance: Ultra-thin head on top of a dark brown beer with translucent edges.
Flavor: Roasted nuts, some fruity sweetness with a very light mouthfeel. Light alcohol warming in the throat with with a bitterness in the finish.
Overall Impression: Overall, a bit light in color and body for a stout, so this drinks more like a really strong Porter. Still an enjoyable beverage, but not so rewarding to offset the coal and switches in my stocking.
