Can picked up from Tip Inn, Loscoe Sunday 8th June 2025. Consumed at home after a nice day in Nürnberg, we had a homemade Chilli con Carne, Wednesday 18th June 2025 listening to ByteFM. Yeah tbf after a day of beer drinking I probably didn't really need this to finish on, but I have and it's a good beer. Pours shark eye black with a tan head. Dark bitter chocolate tries to peak its head above the bourbon wafts, there's also a little roasted malts but yeah the bourbon clearly wins out here. In the mouth a similar story but the dark chocolate and bitter cocoa powder, show more. Smooth in the mouth, a very decent barrel aged stout.

Creamy tan head on a mahogany coloured body. Liquorice, malt, berry & boozy tastes. Medium bodied, soft thinning out to a clean back. Blueberries, Parma Violets, liquorice, whisky & burnt tastes with a bitter finish. Nice enough.
