Tap @ Basement bar. Dark brown body with a nice, medium sized beige head. Aroma has blueberry, dark malt and hint of vanilla. Taste is really sweet, smooth dark malt, cocoa, molasses and just a hint of fruit or berries. Full body and long lasting aftertaste. This isn't exactly my kind of beer but it was quite a fun experience to taste anyway. Drinkable but way too sweet. Lots of aroma and taste but the total impression is mostly weird.

Good stuff. Rich and bready chocolate with a good amount of fruit and it's just a nice rich stout that hits the marks you'd expect from the name.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced via Premier Hop. Pours clear brown with blue highlights, and a large, frothy beige head. Lots of fun, even if it doesn't really evoke blueberry waffles. Has some lightly tart berries, toasted bread, a little cocoa roast, soft earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Well balanced finish, some blueberries, blackberries, more bittersweet cocoa. Quite smooth, actually.
