Can from Lupe Pintos. Pitch black body with a thin tan head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of espresso, prune, roasted marshmallow and dark chocolate. Flavour of roasted malt, copper and a hint of whisky. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Rich and very very dark.

Can from Appellation Wines, cheers Ash! Pours oily black with a thin tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, raisin and wood. Taste is more dark chocolate, fudge, raisin, wood, creamy pudding. Some booze heat on the finish.
