440ml can bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Mid- to dark brown, mostly opaque with a spotty tan head. Dark cooking chocolate, dark caramel, yeast extract, slate on the aroma. Not much sweetness to the taste at all, it’s pretty bitter with salted caramel, more yeast extract and slightly burnt toast. Medium body with fairly heavy carbonation. Intense.

Dark brown colour, good brownish head and lace. Toasted with a bit minty alcohol notes. Light to medium-bodied. Hard licorice candy, toastyness, light hops with fruity notes. Interesting but a bit restless flavour palette.

0.44 l can from 'Beyond Beer', canned in June 2025. Very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and a bit fruity aroma of caramel, toasted nuts and light raisins. Gently sweet, malty, moderately roasty-bitter and minimally fruity taste of caramel, cocoa, coffee, licorice and traces of dark fruits, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, a little ashy finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant.

Malty, slightly roasty with hints of fruits, grass and hops. Faint vibes of black IPA. Surprisingly good.
