Black Bru says it is a dark ale; it also says it is a stout. It is certainly an interesting take on a stout, but isn't really heavy enough to fit into the category of what you usually expect a stout to be like so dark ale is probably a good approximation. It certainly has the dark thick colour, but then the taste is also fruity which comes as a surprise. If you are on the hunt for something along the lines of a Guinness, then this probably isn't for you, but if you want something slightly different for a cold winter night then the Black Bru is worth a try.
(If the photo background looks a bit different than usual it is because we have had to move out of our house while the kitchen gets re-done. Doesn't mean the beer doesn't get drunk though.)
