Jan 7, 2005 Bottle @ HBK Black Beer Festival, Nynäshamn Backlog 26 Nov 2004
Bitter! Slight off tastes of cucumber and rubber. Oxidized.

Nov 28, 2004 Bottled. Murky black, no head to speak of. Slightly toasty aroma with a hint of woody fruitiness. Far sweeter than most stouts I’ve tried, strange astringency in the finish.

Oct 21, 2004 Had on draught from the Cask in The Alex, Derby. No Sparkler.
This is a good solid Stout. Couldn’t really decern the Bramble influence myslef.
Nice but not as good at the Top Dog Stout, also from Burton Bridge.

Oct 6, 2004 I had mixed emotions about this one - while I liked the rich stout pour and the unusual fruit (blackberries perhaps) aromas the flavour and finish were both found lacking. Overall it was drinkable but if you want a fruit beer you can get much better and if you want a stout you can get much better. why combine them.

Jul 2, 2004 Dark color. Very good stout, good mix of dry coffee and malt sweetness; good texture, smooth. Long final. I can’t detect the fruits, but very good anyway! Excellent stout.

Jun 20, 2004 dark coloured, little foam with big bubbles but a nice lacing, toasted mocha aroma, notes of black chocolate and some licorice, the body is rather thin, slightly oily with a robust bitterness, the finish is slightly dry and quite long with more coffeish notes - quality and character
