Pours dark brown with a tiny head.Nose shows loads of chocolate, banana, golden syrup, coffee and creme brulee. Very sweet... incredibly so. Like a chocolate/coffee liqueur.Similar flavours but more roasty character rather than just an overload of syrupy sweetness. Too much alcohol shows though.Body seems a little watery for these flavours.

[11/10] Bottle. Clear chestnut brown with a tiny beige head at the rim that hangs about. Aroma of dried bananas and brown sugar or dark rum, hazelnuts. I hate bananas but don’t mind dried bananas for some reason. Taste is very sweet and follows the aroma until finishing drying grassy bitterness tidies up very effectively. Hides the alcohol pretty well. Very sweet and could use a bit more carbonation, but hangs together all right. [7/15] Bottle, 7.5% ABV. Otherwise the same.

On tap. This was my favourite at last night’s Vicotiran Microbrewers showcase. It is very malty, with almost salty chocolate tones. With no real fizz it still feels very full-bodied in the mouth. I’ll be back for more of this.
