440ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery. Dark brown and mostly opaque with a large loose khaki head. Chocolate aroma, some soapy notes. The taste has more of the orange and raspberry alongside some floral notes, with a fruity sourness which cuts through the sweetness of the stout. It doesn't have a great balance though, and the sourness jars rather than complements. Medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. Odd beer, doesn't really work but it's certainly drinkable enough, even agreeable.
