For years, the Cranborne Poacher has roamed these parts, outwitting both authority and prey in pursuit of pilfered plums and a pheasant for his pot.
Crystal and chocolate malts provide a full-bodied taste with sweet, complex flavours of damson and liquorice.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Clear ruby body with a beige head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of strawberry syrup, roasted malt and copper. Flavour of raspberry and liquorice. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Sweet and tart. I can see why others aren’t keen but I quite like this.

Bottle. Clear dark red with a proper white head. Aroma of plums, cranberries, liquorice and metal. Taste of malts plums, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries and liquorice. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. It’s a strange beast and I can’t make head or tail of it. Sure it’s an interesting combination of flavors and unique but unfortunately not really that delicious.

Amber going to chestnut colour, nice creamy foam. Malty, sweet, caramel, plum, dry fruits and berry aroma. The taste is sweet but fruity, caramel, a hint of liquorice, mild, balancing bitterness. Worth trying.
