This is our rich, dark and decidedly decadent chocolate stout. Uncompromisingly bold and chocolatey, it's a beer to sip and savour - for drinking in your favourite armchair and contemplating life. It's a little bit naughty, but very, very nice. Treat yourself!

Can from Beer 52. Pours a very dark mahogany brown. Initially a very vigorous frothy chocolate brown head, but it doesnโt last. Intense dark chocolate in the nose. In the mouth, the initial impression is of very bitter coffee grounds, cocoa nibs and dark chocolate. In time this fades to milk chocolate and vanilla, and some dark fruits lurking beneath. Finish is generically chocolate. Very nice indeed and hides its strength well.

[33cl can from Beer52 at 5.9% ABV] A dark cola brown pour with a tight chocolate coloured head; rich drinking chocolate aroma; smooth in the mouth with a lactic feel and a sweet chocolate syrup taste; then a drier finish with a touch of dessert chocolate. Rather good.

Tight light brown head stayed on near black still body. Chocolate, caramel & roasted aroma. Medium to full bodied, lively with a clean back. Chocolate, caramel, toffee, nutty & lactose tastes with a lightly fruited finish. Delish

Taste comprises dark chocolate, toffee, fruit slice, brown sugar dusting, molasses. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light dryness in the close. Decent stout.

28/2/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours almost black with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, light roasted malt, caramel, creamy cocoa, touch of vanilla, nut and coffee. Medium sweetness and light roasted bitterness. Medium body, creamy texture, very soft carbonation. Nicely drinkable.

Black, small light brown head. Massive vanilla extract and milk chocolate aroma. Sweet flavour, again lots of sweet chocolate and vanilla. Not as much vanilla as in the aroma and less agressive.
