A rambunctious fruity nose cavorts atop a pleasingly balanced bourbon barrel aged stout. This isn’t your average blackberry, the tart yet earthy sweetness dovetails beautifully with this year’s anniversary stout blend, featuring just enough vanilla to gently embrace your taste buds in a bourbon laden hug. One sip of this year’s anniversary variant may have you convinced Marionberries just have more fun.

Pitch black beer with a russet rim. Leather, liquorice, vanilla. I can imagine blackberries - but then I know they're in there. Caramel, toffee. Very sweet, Bourbon, vanilla. And blackberry liqueur - syrup. Lots of alcohol/fusels. Lipsmacking stickyness. Thick, viscously full bodied. Alcoholheat. Nice, as expected - but for me, the Tay - sorry - Marionberries might have been more prominent.
