440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with little life. The aroma is roasty, aromatic, toffee, vanilla. The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a silky smooth, rich, oily, roasty, toffee, banana vanilla palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

440ml can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, dates, vanilla. Taste is very sweet, chocolate, dates, vanilla, roast malts, treacle, molasses, a bit of alcohol warmth. Full bodied, smooth. Quite heavy on the dates/syrupy sweetness towards the end but really nice.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with a tan head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of date, prune and caramel. Flavour of tangy dates, prune and toffee. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. I think this is decent but they went a bit heavy handed with the date puree as it’s the dominating flavour.

Keg at CBJ. Opaque dark brown beer, tidy dark tan head. Airy smooth palate, a mild viscosity, good fine minerally carbonation. Airy dark malts, a mild dark malt cream, good chocolate, both milk and dark. Mild roast and some decent fruitiness on the back end. Nicely rounded and drinkable.
