330ml can at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured almost black in colour with a mostly lasting frothy off white head. The aroma is roasted malt and blueberries. The flavour is liqourice bitter and tart sour, with a smooth, light, slightly watery, tart blueberry palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Super light and watery which was so unexpected and the blueberries totally dominate which I didn’t really like. Ho hum … at least it probably counts as one of my five fruit/veg servings of the day!

Bottle at home shared with the misses. Opaque pitch black color with an average yet long lasting dark brown colored head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, soft roast and firm coffee, with chocolate and liquor. Flavor is malts, dark and roasted malts, roast softly, chocolate, dark chocolate, liquor but so damn balanced. Soft and extremely balanced. Bloody hell, it's can't get much better than this can it? Insanely good. Wow. Superb balance, incredibly soft and smooth mouthfeel and insanely flavorful. Wow, am absolute Wow. Hats off to this one. Definitely one of the best beers I've ever tasted. Insane. Best ever according to the misses. And I must agree: insanely good.
