Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a tight cream head and good lacing. Nose has hints of dark fruits and chocolate. In the mouth the taste is mainly milky coffee and dark fruits, but the fruits take over as the beer warms up (it was served too cold). Finish is mainly fruity but with some traces of liquorice. A good solid stout – brambles not overdone.

My 500th beer for RateBeer. I wanted something special, but it was just a nice beer, but not a classic. Aroma and flavor of smoked malt and berry fruit. Coffee present. Thin, with a long smokey hopbitter finish.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep brown to black with a light orange tinge around the edge. Nose - bramble and farmyard. Taste - bit yeasty and farmyard again. Blackberry again on the finish. Palate - tangy with an edge of sour. Bitter at the same time. Would like more malt and alcohol sweetness to balance it. Overall - not sure this has worked it.

Handpull cask at the King's Head in Leicester with Rune and Finn. Indigo brown with a dissipating head. Roast coffee, earth in the aroma. Not getting a lot of bramble. Strong overbrewed ciffee in the bittersweet taste with a light sour note. Nice.

(Bottle) Pours black with ruby hints with big pale grey brown head. Interesting aroma - yeast with blackberry and smokey hints. Medium body with generous carbonation. Taste develops significantly. Starts tangy and fruity with some flinty notes. The fruitiness drops away and some smokey burnt and bitter notes develop for a long finish. Unusual, interesting but a bit intense.

(Bottle from Trickling Tap in Grantham) Opaque black stout with a reddish tinge and a thick bubbly, off-white head. Aroma is light and fruity, presumably the blackberry. Flavour has that blackberry flavour as an edge, off-setting the main flavour which is chocolatey malt. Quite a rich beer too which is nice as sometimes the fruity ones can end up feeling a bit ’thin.’ The fruit is perfectly balanced too.
