473ml can from B&M Bargains. Near black in colour, with a slight, beige, head. Plenty of sweet dark berries, with some added maple syrup character in the background. There was also some tastiness and a vanilla oak edge, before a warming, sweet, finish. Fine.

[16oz can from B&M Stores, Reading.] A glossy black pour with a rim of off-white head; rich vanilla and chocolate aroma; chocolate malt body with a little strawberry and vanilla; and a lingering dry and tart strawberry finish. Rather well made, I was expecting lots of artificial flavouring, but this is well balanced, and very pleasant to sip.

Pours hazy pale yellow. Blueberry leads the aroma with some lemon. The flavor is sweet with blueberries dominating and lemons bringing a little tartness. Light. Okay.

440ml can from Home Bargains, Aylesbury, Bucks. A black coloured pour with a very thin beige head on top. Sweet blueberry, maple, chocolate, aroma and taste. Actually not so sweet with a slight tartness. Pleasant well balanced stout.

[44cl can from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A glossy black pour with a then beige head; strong maple syrup aroma - slightly smokey; somewhat milky consistency with lots of sweetness from the maple syrup balanced by a tart fruitiness from the blueberries and perhaps black cherries and damsons, with some licorice and leather thrown in for good measure; then a dry, sour, fruity finish with lingering maple. A complex sipping beer.

Bottle 0.355l, bottled on 11.09.2019. Cloudy, dark brown colored. AROMA- sweet, pralines, coffee, vanilla, caramel, bourbon. FLAVOR- smooth, moderately sweet, warming, the same as aroma. Fuller bodied. Nice one.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma has low key malts, a touch of sour citrus, a touch of 'off' sourness before buttery caramel sweetness intrudes. Clear copper gold. Thin translucent white head recedes quickly. Light bitter. Biscuity malts. Lemon juice edge. Cardboard. And then the sweetness starts to dominateas per the aroma. Light bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Dry finish. Really boring. In fact more like an overly sweet lager than anything else. Ppffftttt... that's a raspberry from me.

Low Calorie (3.7%) version - pours hazy pale amber with a frothy / bubbly white head and a hoppy, fruity aroma. It's a little bit piney, hoppy, lemon/orangey with some sweet caramel malt going on and a nice touch of late bitterness
