Big Bottle share at Craft Islington. Thanks to Leighton. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Palate is airy and fairly dry. Reasonable fine carbonation. Mellow dark chocolate malts, trace of cream. Little bourbon biscuit. An odd floral thing going on. Dry dark chocolate finish. A mixed bag.

Bottle shared at Craft Beer Co. Islington. Picked up in CT. Pours black-brown with a strong, tan foam head. Good roast in the nose, milk chocolate, dried fruits. Medium sweet flavour with charry roast, ash, dried berries, bittersweet chocolate. Full bodied with lively carbonation and massaging texture. Lightly warming to conclude, with some burnt marshmallow, earthy hops, more chocolate. Good stuff. Nice depth, high drinkability. Solid.

Bottle at Craft Islington, thanks to Leighton. It pours jet black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich, sweet, chocolate cake, milky coffee, vanilla, doughnuts and toffee. The taste is smooth, rich roasted malts, mild acidity, tangy dark fruits, candy, sweet chocolate, treacle and some alcohol with a cocoa finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Plenty of chocolate going on. Rather nice.

Bottle at RB London Meet. Opaque black color, good beige head. Nice robust aroma of cocoa and roasted malts. Medium-bodied. Sweetish cocoa, some bitterness but overall quite sweet. Caramalt. Vanilla. Interesting chocolaty, cocoaish stuff.
