Can from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Was just about to add my scores when the screen went blank. A lot going on. My initial review disappearing was probably a good thing because the beauty hidden within black metal analogy I used was dubious at best. Blueberry and coffee in the aroma but the coffee has been loaded with hazelnut syrup and vanilla cream. Jet black. Bubbly foamy beige head. The blueberries provide both sweetness and a sour edge which compliment the roasty creamy nutty chocolate core. Some bitterness into the finish. Lovely stuff. And, as an afterthought, the 10% ABV doesn't show.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced via All Good Beer HD (I think). Pours black-brown with a staunch, frothy beige head. Medium sweet flavour with a nice chocolate-berry character, subtle roast, background coffee, soft earthy bitterness, nibble of blueberry. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation and velvety texture. Light warmth in the finish, more sweet chocolate, blueberry accents, mild coffee. What it might lack in depth it makes up for in drinkability. Very tasty.
