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!

Third of a 330cl can on 5th Feb 2016: in De Bierboom during the 4th International Beer Exchange Evening. Nice! Black bodied (or very dark brown), on top a creamy head in colour and texture. How do you like your chocolate, if it is in liquid form you’ve found your beer heaven. Not a lot could get through the malty chocolate nose and taste of this very easy drinking Chocolate Stout.

Keg at Tapped Leeds, Leeds, Yorkshire. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Roasty, malty, chocolate aroma. Tastes roasty, malty, chocolate, slight sweetness. Really moreish, another good one from Vocation.

Can from Shambles Tavern in York. Appearance - close to opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - creamy milk chocolate. Light smoke and earth. Taste - black jack sweets and charcoal. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - my first beer from this brewer and it was enjoyable.

Keg @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Black with next to no head. Crisp and fairly thin tasting for its strength, which isn’t overly evident in its taste, although its nose carries greater evidence of this. There’s some chocolate and roasted malt in its nose, but not a great deal as there’s a small fruity fusion, with these flavours most apparent in its taste. Not quite what I expected from a chocolate stout.

Can. Turner’s, Sheffield. Clear, dark brown. Thin, clingy, tan head. Nose has vine fruit. Red grape juice. Some cocoa solids. A bit woody. It’s at the fruity end of the spectrum. Taste is fruity, and vinous tart. Cocoa dryness. Palate is light, and tart. Finishes fruity, light bitter. I was expecting chocolatey sweet and rich. Maybe I expected wrong. Ok at best.
