This time, we brewed two variations of the beer. First, the base beer with plenty of sour cherry purée and cacao nibs for that beautiful chocolate and sour cherry tang. That's this one!
And then we also aged half the brew in Heaven Hill Distillery Bourbon Barrels for six months, adding another level of depth and rich, deep flavour with notes of vanilla and caramel that marry with the chocolate and cherry for a delicious stout that we hope you'll enjoy as much as the original.

440ml can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of sour cherries, dark malts, chocolate. Taste is the same, sour cherry dominates, with chocolate, dark malts, quite sweet though not as much as the "original" BA version all those years ago. Full bodied, smooth, light booze hit. Very good. Crazy that it took them 7 years to rebrew/release this base stout.

Can from The Fuss Club. Nose is dark chocolate, black cherries, sweet tobacco, chicory, liquorice toffee. Taste is a nice blend of the above with a light smoky edge. Gullet warming alcohol infusion. Boozy sweet aftertaste.
