A Mil Máscaras of flavour. This Imperial stout will wrestle your taste buds to the canvas in a Tag Team of insane sensory assault. Coffee, chocolate and alittle spice on the nose. Dark chocolate mixes with mocha, vanilla and spice, all layered over a smooth nitro-styling you never saw coming. This set-up finishes with a delicate habanero drop kick as the bell sounds.

Pours near black with a creamy beige head and an aroma of forest fruits, chocolate and a hint of spice. The mouthfeel is super smooth and creamy and the flavour is milk chocolate, with some sweet berry fruit, and a hit of spice before a dry and slightly bitter finish

Nitro can from Morrisons - Jet black body with a thick tan foam. Nose is a creamy chocolate with a hint of chilli. Typical creamy nitro mouthfeel, slightly dry, warm hit at the end through the chilli. Very nice indeed.

Bottle at home. As Get out Claus. One year old. Has a deep brown to black colour. Aroma of chocolate truffles, nougat, rubber, tobacco and jalapenos. Flavour of ash, dark chocolate, roasted malt and a chili burn in the end. Has a slick and slightly silky mouth feel, medium to full body, and a light bitterness. An interesting ale but I feel the chili is too dominant.

Can from Morrisons Supermarket, Blackburn. Black with an off-white creamy head. Might prefer the non-nitro version of this one, texture is too close to the canned bitters experienced too often in the late 1990's for comfort. The spice is nice enough in a dense but not too strength affected taste, although it's clear there's plenty of alcohol in this brew.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Can looks simple but good. Beer in the glass dark black, small head. Intense malty stouty aroma. Starts fine malty-roasty, stouty. Wonderful chocolate notes, light hints of coffee. Mild bitter background. Finish well balanced. Nice one!

Big thank you to Erzengel for this can. Pours out oily and black. Nitro. Strong foamy beige head. At first strong short ripe banana smell followed b an intensive malty choco lactose nose. Taste starts the same, with an increasing boozy offense, scratchy with sweetness and some pepper. Hard to sip. Smells way better than it tastes with this annoying pepper in the aftertaste. Weird.
