Wow, this has to be my favourite beer to date.

Tried it a couple of years ago as a guest ale and never seen it since.

It tastes incredible, a bit chocolately, very smooth and drinkable, but word of caution, its strong! but doesn’t taste it!

A really nice smooth stout, which has a pretty standard flavour with a slight liquorice-ness to it.

Its an interesting one this.

Its sweet, but not sickly, its got a hoppiness to it, but under all that its a solid stout. Not my favourite by a long shot, but a nice pint all the same.

Its a cherry pie flavoured stout. . . but its also super strong. . . and the best bit. . . It actually tastes as it should. Although not all at the same time.

Its quite complex. Initially you get the harsh generic Stout flavour and the strength is apparent, this melts away into a biscuity pie crust sort of flavour, then you get the cherry, and I am pleased to say it actually tastes like cherry too, unlike a lot of supposedly cherry beers I have tried before.

Nice, Tasty, Strong, but all in all a pretty inexceptional / relatively plain stout.

OK, its sweet, and smooth but nothing to write home about. It doesn’t really taste of chocolate or vanilla as its supposed to. it does have a mildly synthetic vanilla taste, but its not particularly nice.

I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with this one.

There’s nothing wrong with it as a beer, very nice and drinkable, however it claims to be brewed in bourbon casks etc. and I was anticipating at least abit of that to come out in the taste. I wasn’t getting any of that, so it came across as just a pretty plain Jane stout, with a craft beer price-tag.

Would I recommend? If your goal is to try all beers then you have to, otherwise, maybe give it a swerve.

Would I buy again? Nah
