Keg, 1/3 pint shared with Finn, drink-in at Beerfly. Black in the glass, naked on the surface, scattered lacing. Inviting aromas of roasted chocolate malts. mid-sweet. Dark malt-driven taste profile with impacts of chocolate and liquorice followed by coffee-chocolate towards the finish, nicely roasted. Rather sweet in the long rune, but still a tasty and well bodied drink.(Bedford 18.11.2021).

330ml bottle Sophie's Beer Store. Hazed dark appearance, modest ring of off-white foam. Aroma brings comforting sweet dark malts, dark molasses, cinnamon, treacle. Taste continues along these lines, excellent sweet profile, cinnamon, dark candy sugar, dark malts.. very nicely presented quadrupel. Excellent in fact.

330ml bottle, pours dark purple with snowglobe yeast suspension, medium purple-tinged head. Doesn't seem to want to settle anything time soon, if ever. Aroma has mild blueberry and lactose. Taste is smooth, yeast not too noticeable, prominent lactose with some unexpected liquorice notes at the back of the palate. Some additional cherry and redcurrant notes. Low carbonation. Ok overall, but the appearance is a bit off-putting.

Contrary to the previous rating I have a bottle and it pours suuuuper murky. I'm not unhappy with sediment but before this settles it's not a good look! Lively and decent head though. Decent blueberry aroma and follows into the flavour. Proper blueberry taste in that it's not super sweet but has a good fruitiness, bit of lactose, some syrup. It's crisp and fresh and quite decent.
