440 ml can. Pours a hazy dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of powdery chocolate, dry roasted malts and dark creamy berries. Flavors of roasted malts, creamy coffee and earthy plums. The plums are pretty subtle but really make the beer. Very good.

Can from Great Grog. Hazy brown body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of blueberry, lightly roasted malt and minerals. Flavour of cranberry and earth. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Tart and interesting. Part of me thinks this would have been better without the damson.

Can via the online shop. Poured out mega murky deep purple tinged dark brown. Looked like prune juice. Sits murky dark brown in the glass. There’s plenty of damson in here, then. Head is soppy thick glossy beige. Looks boss. Nose has stewed prunes. Chocolate malts. Sweet oats. Whiff of caramel. Taste is semi sweet with a tiny bit of fruity tartness and low bitterness. Silky on the palate (maybe that’s all the fruit). Fruity semi tangy finish. Ace. Full of flavour and slips down way easy.
