Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours cloudy black with a dissipating, small, frothy, beige head; little lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate, faint fondant, burnt caramel, macadamia, roasted peanut, vanilla, chocolate cake, hint of raisin. Medium malty sweet onset, quite chocolatey & creamy; light to medium herbal bitter middle with mocha, roasted peanut & fondant, though quite 'powdery' & somewhat artificial. Herbal & bit peppery hoppy finish, toasty, lingering fondant & coffee roast. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Tasty Porter.

Bottle from Waitrose, Frimley. Dark chocolate and coffee aroma. Dark and glossy cola brown. Bubbly beige head soon fades. Medium bitter before a creamy chocolate wave sweeps in for the finish. Light bodied. Relatively thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Good stuff. Delivers on the cocoa.

Cask-conditioned at the Pelican, Gloucester 16/2/2018. Near black in colour, with a moderately-sized, beige, head. Big chocolate character, some toasty malts, leafy hops and a dryish finish. Good.
