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.

Bottle at the Salisbury Arms. A malty aroma and a deep dark brown in the glass. The flavour was malt and bitter chocolate with a very smooth and chewy mouthfeel. It was however very rich and one was enough.

330 ml bottle, shared with Affensteve. Pours with a deep, dark brown color and a small tan head. Nose of roasted nuts, cocoa, milk chocolate, malty. Taste follows the nose. some Vanilla flavors. Wasn´t a good idea to have the Omnipollo Noa first...

Bottle from ŽižkOFF. Darker cola body, tan head. Soft, dry cocoa aroma, slightly sweetish. Well balanced taste, very light for the ABV, cocoa, some background maltiness, a bit dusty. The cocoa notes are classically lovely, but I'm missing some coffee touches myself and some body, but I would gladly try it again.
