Bottle. Appearance - amber with a thin but not unattractive head. Nose - honey, malt. Taste - toffee, honey, dried oranges. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher to be honest. Overall - didn’t get the blueberry. More of an Old Ale. So so!

BOTTLE 50 CL. Opaque black, beige head with good lacing. Nice aroma: hoppy - mint and lemon rind, malt sweetness that blends nicely with the hops and just a hint of roast. The taste is balanced between hops, light malts and chocolaty roast, fresh hoppy bitter finish. Easy drinking, though the body is lacking at times. Still, a very good beer.

Bottle. Golden beer with a strongish white head. The aroma is fruity with some yeastiness, and the flavour is quite dry and well hopped with malty and yeastiness. Overall more like an IPA than a wheat beer, but good overall. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

50cl bottle from Marks & Spencer, Camberley. A glossy pitch coloured pour with a loose tan head; creamy chocolate aroma; sharply bitter taste with a dry lactic body; leading to cofee grounds and burnt sugar and a long dry coffee finish. A pleasant drink, but to me this more a "stout with attitude" than a Black IPA,
