The Watchers - Coffee and cherry double stout 10.1%
Super complex stout brewed with 10 different malts and hopped with Challenger and Bramling Cross. Fermented with a custom made blend of rustic and ester heavy strains of yeast. Re-toasted oak and added in during fermentation and then aged on 140kg of Morello cherries and freshly roasted Brazilian Bela Época peabean coffee coldbrew, courtesy of Faodail Roastery. Pretty insaney.

Can purchased on the interwebs. It pours opaque jet black with a decent tan head. The aroma is rich dark roasted malts, sweet, sticky, unctuous, decadent, deep morello cherry character, cherry jam, earthy, loads of espresso coffee, dark chocolate, black forest gateaux and coffee cake. The taste is dry, rich roasted malts upfront, earthy, burnt toast, big espresso coffee wallop, bitter - sweet character, jammy cherry vibes, ripe and juicy, thick and unctuous, chocolate cake, black forest gateaux, oak and a nip of spice with just a hint of that 10% alcohol on the back end. Full body and moderate carbonation. Decadent, yet moreish.. Nice bitter - sweet balance to itm nice work.

Can from the Plumsteadshire online shop. Black pour with a tan head. Dark roast coffee, black cherries, sweet tobacco, light smoke, nuts in the nose. Taste is black cherry, coffee, more nuts, spot of dark fruits. Sweet spicy fruity finish. Very nice.

440ml can from sophiesbeerstore.co.uk. Pours pitch black, good foamy tan head. Prominent coffee nose with soft cherry. Taste presents an intense rich coffee grain presence with layered dark malts and teasing cherry glimpses on the close. Quite a hefty beer this, with a menacing coffee side and good malt body. Excellent balance. Serious stuff.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep brown to black and opaque. Big fluffy fawn head. Nose - coffee, chocolate, brown sugar and light hazelnut. Taste - big coffee and brown sugar hit up front. Dark chocolate again. Nougat. Palate - rich and full bodied. Sticky and rich middle. The coffee actually dries the finish out a little and makes it somewhat more 'sessionable'. Overall - nice beer, very complex.
