Supplier: Beer Hawk
This looks like the typical CAMRA brewery, the old style of English brewing, and is located in Nottinghamshire. This is a core beer from them and is their version of an Imperial Russian Stout. I served this just below room temperature.

Appearance: A dark brown/black coulor, barely any light penetrates even at the sides. The head is medium, with a milk chocolate colour, but thins to a trace in the sides over time.
Aroma: Not much aroma, some roasted and some smoked notes in the back.
Flavour: A little sweet metalic notes on the front, there's a also a little bit of fresh plum.
Body: For such a heavy stout, this is very light and fresh.
Aftertaste: There are some dry oak notes with some sweeter roasted notes.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, not bad, but just like a standard British stout you'd find in a pub.
Price Range: The last of the Mystery box set, so about £1.50 for a 500ml bottle; a good price for most beers, including this one. If it was on in a local pub I wouldn't mind getting it.
Food Pairings: I would say some spicy chicken wings.
