Fruits and chocolate, what else? This is well balanced, and nice to drink! A bit sweet, but not too much, still, wouldn’t go for more than a half pint.

On tap at BrewDog Soho, pours a dirty black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out tart blackberries, lots of lactose, and a touch of lacto. Flavour is sweet and sour, with tart blackberries, lots of lactose, and granola crunch. Surprisingly balanced, with a fruity, sweet finish. Pleasant for what it is.
