Bottle from B&M. Dark brown, noticeably translucent if you hit the light just right. Coffee and bitter chocolate in the aroma but it smells a bit artificial. Tastes a bit artificial as well, with a metallic note among the sweetness. However the sweetness is indeed lush, liquorice-laden and moreish. Even better is the complex, earthy bittersweet finish with ample carbonation. A mixed bag but worth trying.

Tulip glass at home, 27/06/16. Bought at M&S, Brooklands. Dark as you’d expect but not much head despite my attempt to produce one. I can certainly pick up the cocoa and vanilla aroma (but that could be because I just read the bottle!). A sweet smelling stout. Initial thoughts are that the taste matches the aroma. However after a couple of mouthfulls I’m finding it a bit too sweet, especially with the residue on my tongue. Nice enough but not one I’d drink multiple pints of.

Bottle from B&M store in Hounslow. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Chocolate, malty, vanilla aroma. Tastes similar, chocolate, malty, vanilla, slightly thin and sweet but also quite drinkable.

Bottle from Oddbins. Appearance - opaque black with a thin head. Nose - chocolate and molasses. Taste - more of the same. A decent vanilla note too. Palate - medium bodied with a rich tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - i really like beers like this. Rich but balanced.
