A proper black forest gateau is devilishly rich and elegantly boozy. Dark chocolate and sweet cherry flavours combine in a lavishly decadent stout.

440ml can from Sainsbury's. Pours dark, good tan top. Good aroma of black forest gateau, full smooth body. Big cherry choc hit, smooth with wonderful balance, soothing vanilla linger, creamy moments. Very good.

Can from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Dark brown, not clear with a light-brown frothy-bubbly head. Rich tasting, very cake and dessert in style with raspberry making this brew quite sweet by its aftertaste.

Can from Eltham Sainsburys. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is black cherries, sultanas, chocolate, strawberry Starburst. Taste is raisin, black cherries, raspberry, chocolate. Most certainly a Black Forest Gateau feel. Rich warming finish. Good.

440ml can from Sainsburys. Near black in colour, with a pale beige and frothy head. Strong, black cherry aroma with a hint of dark chocolate. Flavour had some cherry jam upfront, followed by more chocolate and then a warming, boozy, finish. Enjoyable.

Opaque beer, bubbly light-tan head. Fruity, malt aroma. Flavour has boozy cherries, sweet malt, chocolate, a bit of anise maybe? Just a touch of booze. Big body, nice finish where basically the flavours carry through. Excellent.

(Can) Pours black with pale tan head. Impressive and unusual aroma with jammy fruity, booze and creamy notes. Full bodied, creamy, slightly sticky with soft carbonation. Complex rich taste. Sweet, chocolate, jam, cream and booze. Some pleasant bitterness in finish. Very nice.

Can at home picked up from Sainsbury's. A jet black brown coloured pour with a lively mid tan head that fades. Aroma is neopolitan ice cream with raspberry syrup on top, coco , jammy, little soapy on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of medium sweet, chcolate sponge, jammy raspberry syrup, cherry liquor, jammy fruits, coca, chocoalte cake, little rusty penny, Palate is medium sweet, rounded, verging on cloying, moderate carbonation. Ok, bit gimmicky.
