330ml can into tulip. As ’Chocolate Coffee Stout’ 7%. At room temperature. Totally opaque blackness with a frothy tan-coloured head. Aroma of chocolate coffee creams, very sweet. Flat smooth mouthfeel, taste is bitter dark chocolate which carries over into the finish before a final touch of berries and coffee finishes it all off. Nice and understated. Alcohol not noticeable.

From a 330ml can, labeled ’Chocolate and Coffee Stout’, ABV 7%. Pours a deep brown with a medium head. The aroma features lots of chocolate and some coffee, as one might expect given the name. Flavour wise, there’s pronounced coffee and chocolate (both sweet milk and bitter dark), with a fairly assertive roasty bitterness at the back. The palate is slightly creamy and the carbonation moderate. This comes together really well, with a lovely sweet bitter balance, and real length and intensity. Top stuff.

Black with a light tan head that gradually settles to 1/2 an inch and then sticks around. Aroma of fine dark chocolate and medium roasted coffee. 7+ Silky texture, lowish carbonation. Intense chocolate, but not very sweet at all. There are "high" coffee flavours and boysenberries too. A little pepper and grass at the end and the coffee comes to the fore. Bitterness creeps up there quite a bit too. The chocolate (particularly) and coffee are very fine but maybe are too much of the show. Classy drop.
