How big do you reckon the biggest ever Black Forest cake was? Well, it was pretty freakin' big! Weighing 3,000kg and packed full of sour cherries, cacao and a whole lotta love... Just like this stout! Imagine trying to fit that in ya cake hole!

330ml can via Beer52; BB 3rd Apr 2022. Poured into a 'Chimay' chalice at home on 6th Jan 2021. Black bodied, foaming tanned head that sadly fell away far to swiftly. More chocolate than sour cherries (pleased about that), it's malty with a caramel semi-sweetness from start to finish. Needs a drop of 'Schwarzwaelder Kitschwasser' to liven it up a bit (only kidding).

Can. Almost black. Soft roast. Perfumed, raisinny aroma. Malty sweet flavor, thin. Raisin, apple, lactose. Perfumed. Weird.

Tap at the Royston Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken light tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, dark chocolate, light vanilla, dry coffee. The flavour is moderate sweet with a dry roasty, sweet cacao, liqouice hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Had to buy this when seen at Elsternwick Cellarbrations, where one of the staff once told me the way to win the peoples choice award at GABS would be to take a mediocre stout and blend in a black forest cake. Turns out this is not a mess. Bottle. Pretty much black with a small tan head. Aroma of preserved cherries and chocolate. Not notably smooth or sweet. Mild roast, cocoa, slightly tart cherries, decent bitterness with peppery vanilla.

From bottle. Hints of cherry on nose, but mainly burnt notes. Pours very black. Curiously subtle flavours, Hints of chocolate and cherry, and sourness battling bitterness. Not exactly what I was hoping for, as the black forest claims would make for a more flavour forward beer.
