Black beer with a beige head and and very faint malty aroma. Blackberry is nice and subtle as an addition to an otherwise traditional tasting porter. Light but tasty and the backtaste gets richer.

Cask @ Calans, Hebden Bridge. Very dark clear red with a small off-white head. The blackberry is just evident in its nose, but not so much as a flavour. Sweetened dark malts are dominant with some roasted malts there too.
