Appearance is black, with a 2-finger mocha brown head. Aroma- whisky, vanilla, cinnamon, hint of nutmeg, dark chocolate, leathery malt, coffee, more vanilla, tannins, stewed dark fruit undertones. Taste is chocolate milk, vanilla, coffee bitterness, whisky fudge, cinnamon, raisin hints, ashy roast malt, treacle, more chocolate and more vanilla. Very smooth and silky mouthfeel, lingering chocolatey aftertaste. Excellent.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Thick black pour with thin tan head. Aroma is huge rich chocolate and hazelnut with some alcohol. Nailed the dessert smell. Nuttiness is powerful - like the old rogue hazelnut brown nectar. Taste follows but more cinnamon and chocolate and less hazelnut - rich and nutty still though. Bitter too. All flavors come together really nicely without being treacly or over the top. Palate is soft and smooth. Very nice. Huge without being too much.

Can. Nose is vanilla, chocolate ice cream, cloves, chocolate, bourbon, praline. hint of salt, hint of coffee. Taste is rich chocolate, lots of vanilla, nuts, brown sugar, chocolate ice cream, gentle cinnamon, plums, chocolate sponge, big bourbon, cherry, hint of cola, hazelnut, praline, hint of chili in a spice and dark chocolate finish. Very smooth, rich body. Complex and the flavours are very well balanced. It doesn't feel like a gimmick.

330ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Chocolate, dark chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, big cinnamon taste, bit of apple brandy, cinnamon schnapps, coconut sugar. Quite sweet but with some bitter dark chocolate and enough booze heat to balance it. Good body. Very tasty.
