Can. Black body with a thin tan head. Good lacing. Aroma of blueberries and maple syrup. Flavour of burnt caramel, milk chocolate and the faintest note of smoked malt. Thin body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A fun, well executed beer. It’s amazing that this is available in Tesco.

440ml can from Tesco. Pours black, good tan head. Maple, chocolate and blueberry nose. Smooth, slick full body with sweet maple syrup, chocolate, blueberry, some waffle notes yes, all held together quite well. Seems to have divided opinion this, but I liked it, it is quite sweet but the blueberry element is welcome. Not sure I could manage another one tho.

440ml can picked up at Tesco in the UK. Dark brown poor kind of slick minimal head. Maple is featured in the aroma, not prominently, but enough to let you know you're in for a good Breakfast Stout. Taste is with some more sweetness, with more Maple, hint of chocolate. This is easily comparable to many of the u.s. breakfast Stouts. Very well done with a nice creamy feel.

Danke an minutemat. Relativ süßer Beginn. Moderat röstig, feine, etwas trockene Noten von Beeren, etwas gewürzig, wenig Vanille. Geringe Herbe, etwas Schokolade, cremig. Langer beeriger Nachhall, kaum noch röstig. Gut. 10/11/13/10/11/11

Can shared with jeevan. Pours clear dark brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of blueberry muffin, vanilla. Taste has some stout roastiness, but overwhelmingly sweet, blueberry and vanilla. A bit thin on the finish. £3 from the Tesco, apparently. How times have changed.

Can from Tesco. It pours black with a smallish tan head. The aroma is sweet, oily, cinnamon, stroopwafel, toasted action, filter coffee, blueberry muffin and pie crust. The taste is dry roast, bitter - sweet, tangy ripe blueberry, juicy, brambles, bit of warming spice, cinnamon, burnt coffee grounds, welches grape juice, vanilla, cakey, blueberry muffin and fruit syrup with a sweet blueberry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fun stuff for sure, but perhaps a touch sweet for my personal taste.
