26/7/2025. Bottle courtesy of Boris, cheers! Pours black with a small tan coloured head. Aroma is very fruity, dark fruits, raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, light woody bourbon notes. Quite sweet and boozy, with jammy fruity tartness. Full bodied, smooth, average to soft carbonation. Lovely fruity number.

26/7/2025. Can from Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours close to black with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is ashy, chocolate, berries, orange, coffee, roasted malt, condensed milk edge. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Moderate body, very fizzy. Shame about the carbonation.
