Bottle from B&M, Chippenham. Brown-black with a swiftly diminishing tan head. Fruity berries up front with chocolate, developing through weak rum to finish with leather and tobacco. Very dry by the end, maybe too much so. Considering how stupidly cheap they were selling this it’s pretty decent; just let down by a little hint of metal and minerals.

Although I plan on visiting Barbados possibly next winter it’s still smart to grab the country tick when you can since you never know what life will bring. Pours jet black with nose of hot chocolate. Tastes of rich chocolate, coffee,molasses, vanilla, licorice,and heavy cream. really creamy palate but still drinkable. pretty good.

Bottle from B&M Canterbury and drunk at home. My first Barbados rate as well. Makes it all worthwhile. Black beer lasting tan head. Some sugary sweetness on the aroma along with some chocolate, coffee and molasses. Touch of lactic on aroma too. It’s a sweet milk stout. Just not for me. Aroma is ok, but the lactic makes me want to vomit. Yep too much lactose in this for me. Rest is a dryish grainy stout. Sorry a drain pour otherwise I will be sick. I just don’t do milk stouts.

Scopey 5K Tasting in deepest Croydonia. Barbados tick thanks to our 5K host.Paulio! Opaque dark brown beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is light airy and dry. Very sweet malt, little oxidised tasting caramel. Light sweet ripe fruits and a light dry finish. Sweet and somewhat messy.
