Cask at Ship Aground, Stafford. Pours a dark, murky reddish-brown with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is a mix of raspberries, malts and lactose. Raspberries again in the mouth along with vanilla, lactose and hints of summer fruits, blueberries and grated cheese (!). Later some maltiness does come through. Finish is quite fruity. This is great, but it doesn’t really have much of a stout characteristic.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Boot, Wellington on 12th March 2023. Strange one this, claims it's a Stout but it looks like a purple-ish milk shake and tastes of weak raspberry and vanilla ice cream, struggled to finish my half to be honest.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Pours dark with a pinkish purple tinge to it. Dark malts to the fore with subtle raspberry adding welcome sweet shades, though again, quite subtle. Not bad but expected more of the vanilla and raspberry to come through, more creaminess. There's a good beer here in future editions.
