| Comments: A lot of hesitation behind this one. I am sure that this was one of the original Australian stouts, brewed as ’Kalgoorlie’ or ’Hannan’s Stout around 100 years ago and seemingly similar to the Southwark offering (I love corporate Australia!). In the new century, big business obviously wheeled it’s ugly head, and seemed to have left this untouched. To early notes about Australian Stouts, this seemed to not faulter. Marmite, molasses and burnt sugars, and a decent waft of fermenting yeast dominated the nose, and was, honestly, a little off putting!. Inside, it delivered rich dark chocolate up front, a creamy full bodied palate, with dry roasted grain in the long swallow and no sense of the alcohol. Molasses cane flavour seemed complimentary to the toasted and dry bitter malt, roasted grain and mocha flavours of this balanced and simple stout. Overall, I was surprised by this one. A good, honest Foreign Extra Stout. Understated!!! | ||||
