Burton Bridge Bramble Stout

Bottled. Tasting @ Kolding Bryglaug. Aroma has toffee malts and berry-fruityness. Black coloured beer with an off-white, lasting head. Taste is sweet, very fruity with some coffee bitterness. Dry finish. Somehow not my cup of tea.

Very dark brown with a lasting tan head. Aroma is toffee, chocolate and undefined berries. Dry and fruity flavour with chocolate notes.

Bottle @ thewolf-and-his-flock-of-sheep tasting session. Dark color, short head. Very fruity aroma of brambles, some roasted malt. Fruity taste, quite bitter as well. Hint of menthol?

Pours deep black with red edges. A fine, creamy beige head on top. Aroma has chocolate and light roasted tones. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour is super-dry, almost like cocoa-powder. Some balckberry fruitiness as well. Okay beer overall.
