Cask @ Fernandes Brewery Tap, Wakefield. The pour’s deep brown with a tiny head. The nose is roasted malts, earth, sweet chocolate syrup. A bit of funky red currant. The taste is full of blackberry and bramble jam. Nice, bright fruitiness. Soft ashy roasted malts, nutella spread. Really nice, well-integrated flavors. Smooth-drinking stuff. Fine carbonation. This beer was served in excellent condition. Overall, a surprisingly good stout. Cool stuff.

Tasted from the bottle, on 16/12/2012.
Pours of perfect black color, with a lovely, huge creamy head.
Aroma is faint but elegant, with slight sourness, notes of berries and a bit bready in the end.
Taste is gorgeous, proper acidic upfront, with tones of berries again, then quite roasty, with botes of dark chocolate and just a hint of vanilla.
Recommended.

A very dark, black coloured beer with a thick coffee coloured head. The nose is fruity, plenty of blackberry with a background maltiness. Full bodied and dry mouthfeel. The taste is bitter, roast malt, burnt sugar and espresso coffee, which is then followed by a slightly sweeter blackberry fruit flavour that does give a little balance to the finish.

Nice dark color with a rich toffee colored head. Nice balanced aroma and taste to match very nice with a Charcoaled steak.

JDW beer festival : Soy-sauce aroma, but really nice. Sweetness from the blackcurrant balances (disguises?) the bitterness from the dark malts.
