A rich and decadent dessert stout, perfect for indulgence in the depths of winter with sweet flavours of dark chocolate, smooth vanilla, and a smack of fruity, boozy cherries, reminiscent of a Black Forest gateau.

Can thanks to cagarvie.
Appearance - mat black with a thin beige head.
Nose - jelly, cherry tunes and not much stout element going on.
Taste - oh yeah, seriously medicinal, cherry tunes again.
Palate - medium bodied, rich tangy middle and finish.
Overall - weird as hell.

440ml can. Pours black with loads of sediment, big beige head. Aroma of strong cherry liqueur, chocolate, marzipan. Taste is the same, getting a strong cherry liqueur vibe from this, marzipan, almond, some vanilla sweetness but a surprisingly bitter finish. Medium bodied. It's fine but not my thing really.

14/12/2024. Can shared by Colin, cheers. Pours close to black with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet, rowntrees jelly, cherry coke, jelly tots, midget gems, cocoa, chocolate. Very sweet with moderate developing bitterness. Quite full bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Intriguing drop, liked it.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Almost clear dark brown beer, small pale tan head.Light and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Mellow slightly thin chocolate malts, a thin creamy chocolate. Rich almondy cherry, a touch of Kirsch. Light and semi dry finish. A tad artificial overall, the almond cherry is hugely punchy but, despite the amplification, rather nice.
