Cask at The White Swan, Solihull. Poured a very dark mahogany with a reddish hue and a thick tan head. The aroma was fruity and of course dominated by those blackberries! The flavour is is rich, and earthy, with dark chocolate and lots of blackberry on the palate. It’s medium bitter and the fruit does not dominate. This is a very unusual and tasty ale. I’m surprised the ratings are not better.

Cask at the Lawrence Sheriff, Rugby, 17/04/13. Light black with a thin tan head formed of small bubbles. Nose is dark malt, strawberry liqourice, berry fruits, sugars, bubblegum. Taste is blackberry forward, light roast malt, molasses, liqourice, artificial sugars. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sweetish finish with lingering berry fruit. Ok - a little OTT on the blackberry front, akin to dumping a large amount of sweet blackberry cordial into the beer, the balance good have been better with more subtle fruit flavours.
