Based on the Crunchy chocolate bar, my childhood way of eating that was to start on the chocolate, leaving only the full honeycomb section for the finish. It's impossible to separate the two here, but they work in tandem and its a sweetish flavoursome stout with both the chocolate and honeycomb abundant in both aroma and taste.

440ml can from Tesco Extra in Chesterfield - opaque black body with a short lived tan head. Sweetish chocolate start, bit of vanilla and honeycomb adds to the sweetness, slightly roasted notes at the end.

A little fun in a degenerate kind of way, but itβs by no means good. Head fades out quickly. Quite sweet of course, vaguely artificial, some sugary chocolate, hint of roast, toffee, a little earth, some dark fruit. Not very specific, just vaguely and richly sweet.

Can. Nose smells like a crunchie. Taste is dark malt, chocolate, cream, honey come and a slightly medicinal hop note on the sweet finish.
Having had some genuinely abominable vault beers this week, I approached this was fear. However this was just bad.

440ml can. Poured a clear almost black colour with a short-lived, fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasty, sugary honeycomb. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, sweet honeycomb, chocolate, dry, light spicy hop palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.
