440ml can from Waitrose, in Bath, England. Pours a very dark brown color with dark ruby highlights and a large, thick, light tan head and excellent retention. Very good lacing. Dark chocolate aroma. The taste follows the nose, with sweet milk chocolate and dark bittering chocolate notes mixing together. Creamy texture. Super smooth and clean. Almost a dessert beer. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. And the 6.8％ ABV is invisible. Great beer

Aroma of milk chocolate, cocoa powder, slightly roasty malt, some vanilla. Flavour is sweet. Well made but not for me, too sweetish and thin for my taste.

Аромат легкие нотки какао бобов, совсем чутка красного вина, немного нежные и сладкие вения шоколада. Цвет темный, даже очень, пенка неплохая, пористая. Вкус очень сбалансирован, ощущается некая кремовость. Чувствуются какао бобы, совсем немного кофе и легкий молочный шоколад. Послевкусие больше кофейное, даже немного карамельного солода. В целом хороший и питкий портер, не хватает все таки глубины.

EIn schön gestaltetes Stout, das seinem Namen alle Ehre macht. So hat es im Kern einen wirklich intensiven Ton nach schwarzer Schokolade hat. Dazu kommt ein leichter TOuch nach Pfeffer und ein schön runder karamelliger Abgang.
Wirklich nicht übel.
