Bottle. Deep brown. Loads of milk chocolate on nose plus some malts. Very thin mouthfeel. Certainly resembles an Easter egg, but one of the blander ones.

Pours black with a lasting head.Nose shows milk chocolate, cocoa and roasted malt. Pretty enticing.Lots more chocolate as a flavour, but there’s also a whack of roasty malt underneath.Body feels a bit watery.Very drinkable stuff.

From a 330ml bottle on 27/4/2012. Pours a very dark brown/black with a small head. Has a powerful aroma of chocolate topping. The flavour is all bitter dark chocolate against a medium roasty bitterness. This is a slightly odd one. It’s a little watery and a little one dimensional, but what’s there is reasonably interesting and actually pretty good.

Bottle. Clear black (actually very dark red) with good beige head. Pleasant rather subtle chocolate aroma. Medium light body with lovely mouthfilling carbonation. Unusual and pleasant flavour. Rich sweet toffee start quickly moves to chocolate malt. The finish is quite surprising in that it has a refreshing fruity character and almost no bitterness. Overall this is a very nice dark beer that manages to balance the rich chocolatey flavours with an overall refreshing quality.

Bottle, 11C. Dark brown with a modest beige head that laces nicely. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, a little roasted malt, cloves, cinnamon, cardamon. Fairly thin mouthfeel with some oaty smoothness. Light milky chocolate sweetness with vanilla overtones. No hard-roasted bass note. Mild spiced bitter finish with noticeable astringency that creeps up as you drink it. This is mostly a showcase for the really good chocolate and it’s an elegant and subtle drop.
