330ml can. Pours a very dark brown, opaque, head is basically the same colour. Aroma of chocolate ice cream, bourbon. Taste of melted chocolate ice cream, boozy bourbon, and that's about it. Extremely thick body.
Fair play it does what it says on the tin, and it is delicious but... Execution is questionable.

Very thick and sweet. Like a creamy, milky chocolate sauce. No condition really. Flat, oily. Bit sticky. Bit of a novelty.

Can shared at the craft beer junction bermondsey tasting. Many thanks to Colin. A thick dark black brown coloured pour with a a frog spawn dark tan head. Aroma is salted peanut butter chocolate pudding, sponge,. Flavour is composed of semi hot chocolate chocolates syrup, brown sugars, coconut, cocoa. Palate is medium sweet, oily, weird.

Can split at the locked in tasting @CBJ Bermondsey, picked up from HOTM online, 29/04/2026.
Shit water brown topped with a khaki head.
Nose is chocolate ice cream, molasses, light bourbon flicker.
Taste comprises molasses, dark malts, chocolate, vanilla, light coffee, trace of bourbon.
Full bodied, thick viscous feel, semi drying close.
Not their greatest offering.
