With sour cherries bursting into the mouth, followed by rich dark chocolate and subtle sweet butter toffee, this is an Imperial stout to savour.
Your former master doesn't want to lose you to the Dark Side like he did your father...but you already know....it's too late...

Tap at Winter Affair '25, brief notes. Excellent beer, with all of the special flavourings distinctly present - sour cherries, butter toffee and barrel (frederiksdal cherry wine BA). Well done!

Tap at Winter Affair 2025. Black body, off-white head. Dried cherry, alcohol, chocolate, caramel in the slightly dusty aroma, lovely. Nice, soft taste, well integrated cherry, caramelly, barrel touches that grow, very well hidden alcohol, bitterish. The barrel overruled everything else, but that's a good thing here, subdued, but so well integrated, easy drinking almost. Respect!

22/8/2024. Tap at Blind Tiger, Peterborough. Pours black with a small tan coloured head. Aroma is rich chocolate, boozy, dark malts, dark fruits, cherry, treacle, nut. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Quite full bodied, low carbonation. Good finisher on the way to the station after a day at the beer festival.

Tap at the blind tiger Peterborough. Thick black with a slim head. Aroma and taste are malty chocolate with tart cherry. Love the combo. Slight hints of boozy. Rich body.
