Can via the online shop. Poured out mega murky deep purple tinged dark brown. Looked like prune juice. Sits murky dark brown in the glass. There’s plenty of damson in here, then. Head is soppy thick glossy beige. Looks boss. Nose has stewed prunes. Chocolate malts. Sweet oats. Whiff of caramel. Taste is semi sweet with a tiny bit of fruity tartness and low bitterness. Silky on the palate (maybe that’s all the fruit). Fruity semi tangy finish. Ace. Full of flavour and slips down way easy.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Black in the glass. Very sturdy thick beige foam. Looks good. Nose has a suggestion of parkin with light ginger notes and some nutmeg. Taste is fairly dry with a hint of sweetness and a moderate bitterness. Feels pretty thin overall. There’s no body or depth despite the 5.2%. Thin watery bitter finish. Started off ok but disappeared into nothingness.

Can picked up at the brewery. Deep chocolate brown pour. Sits virtually black. Slim ring of dense glossy beige foam. Bitter roast. Dark chocolate. Hints of coffee and caramel. Taste is nicely bitter with a creamy-ish sweetness. Plenty of body and flavour. Bitter chocolate finish. Nice one. Tasty and easy drinking.

Can. Morrison’s. Nearly black. Soppy beige foam. Nose has roast malt on top of Dubai chocolate silliness. Surprising lack of sweetness which is nice. Drinks easy and belies the 6.5. Bitter finish.

Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Light haze on a pale to medium gold. Decent soppy white head. Pretty vague yeasty notes with some banana and spice. Not too much else. Taste has a zippy bitterness. Clean overall. Dries out on the finish.
