On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours almost black with minimal cream head. There’s honey, malts and biscuits in the aroma. In the mouth it is mainly sweet but with a little sharpness. Flavours of roasted malts, chocolate, honeycomb, berry fruits and plums. Hints of cola and vanilla come later. Finish is slightly dry. This is decent.

On tap,at Beer Shop Folkestone Tap Takeover. Black beer lastimg. Tan head. Again it's got some lovely red fruit and dark fruit. Really impressed with the Indie Rabble stouts. Some vanilla flavour. Its decent. Good cocoa flavour.

Keg at the brewery. Dark - darkest cola brown to be precise. Foamy beige head. Aroma has cacao and sweet berries. Flavourwise it's initially all tangy berries followed by mocha. Some creaminess. Medium bodied. Buoyant creamy mouthfeel due to the lively Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astring ent finish. Nice but not getting the topping off of jazzies at all. But how easy would it be do that other than adding actual hundreds and thousands.
