Tasty and sweet, rich creamy toasted malts, caramel, honey, bread, ritual yeast. Low bitterness. Very enjoyable.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a big lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is is big raspberry, light honey. The flavour is moderate sour, with smooth, somewhat rich, tart raspberry, slightly vinous, light sweet honey palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A stout? If I were wearing a blindfold I’d say this was a tart fruit sour. The raspberry totally dominated. There’s no room for anything else. There isn’t anything balanced about the addition of raspberries as noted in the commercial description! It’s beers like this that make me want to drink macro lagers once again for a fraction of the price I paid for this. If I’d wanted a tart fruit beer that’s what I would have ordered. Disappointing.
Imperial March End Game. Stupidly good base beer, with added good shit. Great end to a very enjoyable beer walk
Now we're running! Imperial March stop 4. All I love about stouts. Rich, roasty, bit of coffee and chocolate. Then add the barrel oak, vanilla etc. Sublime! Shout out to Freddie from Matlock, who is visiting York today and decided to have this as well.
Imperial March, stop 3. Biggest of the lot. Stunningly good. Was already a wonderfully rich, chocolaty beer, but the barrel aging gives it a little more complexity with hints of the bourbon and vanilla.
Imperial March 2025, stop 2. Very nice, but the borbon dominates a bit much for my tastes. Smooth and rich.
Stop 1 on the Imperial March. Fruity, with the barrel flavours hitting in the finish.

Fro cask at Fell Northern Quarter, Manchester, 28.03.25. Clear golden amber. Diminishing white head. Fine lacing. Aroma and taste of medium roasted malt, chocolate and dried fruits. Low bitterness. Good drinkability.
