Keg at the Euston Tap. Pours midnight black with a creamy, tan head. Aroma is all hoisin and soy sauce, some cocoa and roast. Very, very sweet flavor, slightly syrupy, at first candy, licorice, chocolate syrup, then some roasted malts and brown sugar. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes sticky with sugar, some roasted malts, subtle coconut, dark brown sugar, soy sauce, some ripe fruits like raisins and berries, oily coconut, light smoke, mild tar and roasted malts. Huge beer, extremely sweet. Really enjoyable but I couldn’t have more than a half pint. (4.2) Update (from the past): bottle at post-ACBF 2011 tasting. Pours dark, oily brown-black with a few bubbles. Rish, roasty dark malt nose. Very sweet and syrupy flavor, some chocolate and hints of coconut. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Very oily and slightly chewy. Warm finish with moderate roast, some brownies and sugar. Nice. (4.1)

Pours black, no head. Sweet, somewhat smoked aroma with some faint chocolately notes. Sweet, oily and sticky texture. Flavour is sweet and roasty with notes of charcoal leading too a bitter finish. Where’s the coconut?

Black with a small tan head. Inviting aroma of licorice, some brown sugar and a meaty smoke. However the flavour is insanely sweet and sugary, extremely cloying with little help from notes of bacon smoke and roasted malts

Taste is sweet and with deserwinelike notes, port and maderia, plums, roasted malts, sweet chocolate and light cofffee, light cocunut. Full bodied, low ( no ) carbonation.
