Hook norton double stout

This is one of the finest stouts I've ever tried. A very handsome looking beer, with a deep black body and a creamy off-white head.  It is 4.8% in strength and brewed with a variety of malts, including Maris Otter Pale, and black and brown malts, which combine to give it a deep and complex flavour.

The aroma is predominantly of coffee and licorice, whilst the flavours are fulsome coffee, with hints of bitter grains and toasted fruits. This is an excellently complex beer.
