Burton Bridge Bramble Stout

Cask at the Hole In The Wall, Southsea, UK on 16th October 2009. Dark ruby body and pale brown head. Slight smoke in the aroma; very bitter and sligtly grassy kick; satisfyingly bitter finish. A rich burnt malt/coffee/bitter chocolate note late on in the flavour cycle of this excellent stout.

(on bottle) Reddish brown, white head. Fruity, small and not bramblelike tho´. Some toast. Taste is dryer, mouth waterish. Hoped it to be more deep; I just love brambles.

0,5 l bottle, bought at Bierei, Vienna. Superb appearance with a deep brown-black body, brutal stable, foamy and creamy beige head. Nice sourish-roasted aroma with coffee and some fruits. Deep roasted character in the flavor with coffe, dark chocolate, candy sugar, some wild-fruits. A bit of blackberries. Fine roasted coffe-like aftertaste.

500ml bottle. Poursvery dark, almost coal coloured with a small white head.Plenty of lacing. Strong aroma of coffee, malt, berries and burnt wood. In the mouth- chocolate/coffee, winter berries, charcoal and quite a lot of bitterness. Little carbonation. Overall a very enjoyable beer.

Bottled(500ml). -Almost black coloured, big creamy brown head, fruity nose with touch of wood. Strong roasted malt, light smoked, and fruity notes with very discreet blackberry hints. Pleasant roasty aftertaste. Better than Honey Porter I’ve tried before.

500ml bottle picked up at Luvians Bottle Shop in St Andrews. Missing head, but nice laceworks on the glass. Clear russet coloured body. Berries and malts to the nose. Much the same goes for the rather special taste of blackberries joined by earthy malts. Very dry, in fact, a bit of old books. Medium bodied [06.11.2008].

Cask at Victoria Hotel, Beeston, Nottinghamshire. Very dark brown with a solid, creamy off white head. Faint malty aroma. Warm, rich malty taste, full of fibre and bread and dusty wrapping paper. Slight sweetness, presumably as a result of the blackberry juice. Some bitterness. Very good.
