Cask at the Smithfield, Derby. Polished magohany with a creamy tan head; milky coffee aroma; flavour is fruity and sweet to start, with traces of blackberries, but also plum and damson, thick and chewy; moving to a dry roast coffee finish.

Bottled@GBBF2007. Dark ambery brown color, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, parfume, fruity hops and some caramel. Flavour is mildly roasted malts, caramel, some hops and wood. OK, but the flavour was a slight disappointment.

Cask at Duke of Wellington, Norwich. Gravity. Very deep ruby colour, off white head. Very roasted aroma, vergining on charcoal. Some dark fruits. Juicy in mouth, no real sourness, fairly good brambly fruit, lacks a little condition. Bit of powdery coffee on end. Nice fruit too.

500 ml bottle, bought in Scarborough. ABV is 5.0%. Bottle conditioned. Pitch black colour, large tan head. Lovely aroma of bramble (blackberries) with vinous notes, also notes of chocolate and a mild roastiness. The flavour has a roasty and hoppy (Challenger) bitterness throughout, notes of coffee and berries (the latter are fairly subdued). Bitter aftertaste. Good beer!

(Bottle 50 cl) Completely pitch black and opaque beer with a creamy, light brown head. Marked aroma of burned malt. Flavour full of the same burned malt - almost coffeeish. Too burned for my palate. I really donโr detect the added brambleberries - only dryness and a pronounced bitter finish from the malts. 011005
