I'm saddened to have to give this a middle of the road 3⭐️ as I've enjoyed a few interesting dark beers from this brewery. It's a very good Stout with lovely roast malt and dark chocolate flavours in swathes on the palette. Then it becomes extremely bitter on the finish. So much so that I found myself holding it on the tongue and not wanting to swallow. I don't mind a bitter finish usually, but found that this was too much and I'm afraid it ruined my enjoyment. I must add that it was the first pint after a very sweet dessert, but Mrs Phil agreed about the bitterness and she had abstained.
