Bottle from the Brewery online shop. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aromas of chocolate and hazelnuts, light vanilla and red fruit. Taste is more chocolate and nuts. Snickers, basically. Very little cherry action at all.

Keg at CBC SMA - London. Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. Good roast in the nose, some tangy berries, dusty cocoa. Medium sweet flavour with bittersweet baking cocoa, a little alcohol, dried earth, leathery berries, rich coffee. Full bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with chalky cocoa, muddy earth, more baking cocoa, old leather, more dried berries. Alright overall.

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Nearly black. Minimal head. Nose is all Black Forest gateau. Loads of cocoa and black cherry yoghurt. Vanilla. Nailed on really. Taste is light, vanilla sweet, with a little woody, ashy dryness. Light to medium body. A bit thin, maybe. Ashy, woody finish. Smells great, but trails off thereafter.
