Keg at BDSB - London. Pours dark town with a creamy, beige head. The aroma holds milk chocolate, mild roast, coconut. Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of oily coconut, smooth chocolate, low roast, light bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish - more chocolate, creamy coconut, light bittersweet roast and baking cocoa. Good stuff.

Keg at BD SB. It pours jet black with a medium beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malts, coffee, soft fruity vibe, earthy, toasted coconut, treacle, eccles cake and cherry. The taste is rich roasted malt, cacao nibs, dried fruits, fruit cake, peppery spice, toasted coconut, charred wood and alcohol warmth with a dry, toasty finish. Medium - full body and fine carbonation. Decent, but not a huge amount of depth. Not bad.
