in collaboration<br />
with Yorkshire<br />
based Zapato.<br />
You’re Not Getting<br />
Any tastes like<br />
deep chocolate,<br />
smooth and full<br />
bodied. Blueberry<br />
sweetness, vicious<br />
notes and gentle<br />
tartness. Brewed in<br />
homage to those<br />
that think they’re<br />
entitled to every<br />
new release.<br />
WHAT WE THINK:<br />
A fascinating<br />
collab between<br />
two cool UK<br />
brewers, this<br />
stout is infused<br />
with blueberry,<br />
which might<br />
sound bizarre,<br />
but really works.<br />
You can smell<br />
them slightly in<br />
the aroma along<br />
with caramel, but<br />
they really come<br />
through in the<br />
taste, for which a<br />
lighter mouthfeel<br />
helps. The<br />
lightness of the<br />
blueberry makes<br />
this a dangerously<br />
easy drinker at<br />
9.8% ABV.
