16oz can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, May 23. Thanks Simon for this! Misty reddish amber appearance, small off-white head. Coffee berry hints coming through on initial sip, not jumping out as cherry necessarily.. more mixed berry.. light sour tingle. It's ok, just a bit muddled, and not detecting the lactose or chocolate.

16oz can @ monthly tasing, Chez Sophie, May 23. Thanks Simon for this. Hazed deep red appearance, small head. First impressions reveal a lactosey hazelnut base, with additional chocolate and ferrero rocher notes emerging.. mirage-like mixed berries that don't quite materialise. Not for me I'm afraid.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction, Bermondsey, 26/05/23. Pitch black with a dirty tan head that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is dark malts, chocolate pot, raisins, brown sugar melt, molasses, bourbon nip. Taste comprises booze, chocolate, toasted brown sugars, molasses, toffee fudge, bourbon rasp, dates, raisins. Full bodied, oily viscous on the palate, semi drying close Solid impy affair ... best of the bunch for me ... great balance with a slightly bitter aspect tempering the sweetness.
