Jan 31, 2005 Nearly black - still purple color. Small creamy layer of a head on top. Blackberry nose - also clay and chocolate. Mocca long lasting bitter taste. Some fruityness comes through but leads to a weird finish.

Jan 30, 2005 Acidic sour nose, dark opaque brown color, low tan scumy head. Nice toasted, raosted malt up front, then a tobacco bitter. Unfortunate artificial and metallic aftertaste. Thinish, but with a creamy mouthfeel. OK, I guess.

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.
