Bottle sourced from Art & Craft SW16 at home in London 02/12/2025 - new UK brewery ✅ dark sweet and roasted malty with lots of sweet chocolate, some sticky sweet dark caramel and toffee layers, vanilla coming in, medium plus body, smooth lingering malty finish. Lovely.

330ml bottle. Pitch black pour with no head. Aroma of chocolate, cocoa powder, vanilla, dark malts. Taste is exactly the same, dark chocolate and cocoa powder completely dominate, some creamy vanilla, caramel, dark malts, light booze warmth, quite bittersweet. Full bodied, smooth. Lovely.
