bottle. pours a dark brown-mahogany coloured body with a small bready white head. the aroma is interesting just like their porter - berry fruit tartness and a little bit of burnt roast. soft creamy mouthfeel with only the slightest carbonation. it has some berry tartness at times that proves to be quite interesting along with coffee bitterness. pretty tasty.

Bottled. Black coloured. A very fruity stout with notes of sweet berries in the aroma and i the flavour. The finish is quite hoppy and bitter. Nice.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev at Smokeless Joe. Pours a dark reddish purple with no head. Aroma of chocolate and fruit. Flavour is really fruity, surprising for a Stout. Tastes of blackberries, roasted malt and coffee. It has a nice bitterness to it as well, it’s quite dry. A little thin and flat for the style. Not great but it is unique and and enjoyable.

Bottle shared with HogTown Harry and Blankboy at Smokeless Joe’s. Dark brown / red/purple / no head. Slight hints of chocolate and fruit in aroma. Really nice taste of Black Forest Chocolate cake, with emphasis on berries. Lovely sweet taste, balanced. Thin, and I could see how some may dislike, but I thought it kept its stout backbone while bringing something new and unique to the table. Enjoyable!

Bottle (500ml). At Smokeless Joe, shared with blankboy and tupalev. Poured deep deep red/purple brown with essentially no head at all. Aroma of prune juice, sour cherry, sweet chocolate candy and roast malt. Taste of tart berry fruit, burnt malt, licorice and coffee - this is *very* tart and bitter, moreso as it warms. Mouthfeel a tad on the watery side, very acidic, and flat. Overall it’s a stout, yes, but the huge infusion of tart/sour fruit juice tends to overwhelm everything - interesting, but not a winner for me.

Bottled. Black coloured with a beige head. Roasted aroma of coffee with notes of berries. Roasted flavour of coffee and berries with bitter notes. Too roasted for my liking.
