Tap, taster. Tasted on the 29/01/2018 at "Howling Hops Tank Room", Hackney (London - England). Black colour with a medium tan head. Aroma of berries, chocolate powder, roasted malts and some coffee beans. Taste is semi sweet berry fruity. More red fruits than chocolate though. Carbonation is Ok. Next one please!

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours black-brown with a frothy, mocha cap that fades away efficiently. Lightly tangy dark fruits in the nose, hints of cocoa, background roast, some raspberry. Medium sweet flavour with further subtly tangy berry notes, some bittersweet chocolate, moderate roast. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine, massaging carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, minimal warmth, some sticky chocolate accents, cherry and raspberry, baking cocoa. Overall, solid. Nicely layered and rather drinkable.

Keg at BD Soho, 20/12/17. Black with a decent tan head. Nose is chocolate, light spice, chocolate dipped cherries, toffee, modest roast. Taste comprises black forest gateaux, chocolate, molasses, light black peppery spice, toffee melt, berry fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent flavoursome stout and nailed the remit.

Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Tangy dark malts, sun earthy coffee and a trace of bitter dark chocolate. Some tangy fruits, no real clear cherry vibe here. Smooth dry finish. Mild bitter linger. It's ok, but doesn't really nail the concept, nowhere near sweet or cherry enough. A bit of a disappointment overall.
