440ml can. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, frothy, off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt, blueberries and light vanilla. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, herbal, light blueberry, light vanilla palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. The promised cacao wasn’t really there. Tasty, but not a classic.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar as part of their 2022 North Yorkshire Beer Festival. Purplish black with a ring of tan head. Strong filter coffee, some blackberry, some liquorice on the nose. Hazelnut, caramel and a surfeit of liquorice in the taste. Long sweet finish with notes of molasses. Gorgeous balanced beer, doesn't run away with the sweetness like many Brew York impies. They nailed this one.
