Older notes from a Beer52 package: wasn’t one for me, the berry taste did not go well with the stout/chocolate flavour and the slightly bitter finish. Nice dark pur, though.

24/8/2020. Sample courtesy of SHIG. Pours dark brown with a small frothy beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, raspberry pulp, light roasted malt, vanilla. Moderate sweetness and tartness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Slightly unpleasant bitter finish developed. Not a winner for me.

[33cl bottle from Beer52.] An opaque black pour with a billowing beige head; raspberry aroma; zingy sharp raspberry taste to start with a smooth oaty grain body; and a dry finish. Rather good.

Rocky off white head left a good cover on a brown limp body. Ash & tobacco aroma. Smells like an ashtray. Medium bodied, smooth on the front with a thin back. Tobacco, ash, raspberry, faint hops, burnt & roasted tastes. Where's the malt gone?

330ml bottle from Beer52. Tanned topping to this black bodied brew. Raspberry nose and flavour, didn't pick up the vanilla elements or notice any springs in it.

Bottle from Beer52. Off black colour with a tan head. Not much of the vanilla and raspberry in the aroma a lot taste. More it’s just dry stout.
