Bottle, numbered 163 of 480. Pours with a dark beige foam on a blackish brown body, no visible carbonation, foam density lacking. The smell is incredibly sweet dark chocolate, rum and raisins and all that stuff, you know the $4 Ritter Sport things you regret buying when you're outside the EU but they still taste damn good. Notes of motor oil and Blenz mocha coffee from their site on Granville which has been there like forever, smells like flies, but somehow still brings the homeless people in. Flavour is extra intense chocolate syrup, plenty of gooey cake, molasses, a bit of mousse. Nice smooth mouthfeel, nearing silk, not quite there but close. Alcohol is invisible. I had my doubts about this, and a lot of Good Buddy's beers are seriously lacking, but they can dig it when they go all in for a monster stout. Now if they could only get the low alcohol stuff moving in the right direction....

Dark brown. Light chocolate, toasty, soft, a bit boozy, definitely toasty marshmallow. Not bad.

Bottle at Black Christmas 2018
Black colour. Fragrant aroma, vanilla, cookies. Decent body strength, good dark malt flavour, with some vanilla, and roasted nuts.
Quite good.

Sweet dark chocolate and vanilla perfume. Jet black with a small brown head. A bit herbal, almost anise and sweet dark chocolate. Viscous and thick.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of marshmallow, vanilla and light roast. Flavour is quite artificial, with lots of marshmallow, medium roast and light vanilla. Lots of marshmallow on the finish. Okay.
