Canned on 17.07.19. Got what was promised, a boatload of chocolate and orange, in a stout. Pretty heavy, sweet but not overly so, even some roast. Chocolate smoothens out in the background, but the orange is rich and in your face. Fun, tasty, bit chunky.

440ml can from Coracle, Ironbridge. Pours black, medium beige head. Comforting chocolate aroma with vanilla glimpses. Taste is smooth with a largely chocolate character, some vanilla moments, but the orange element seems hard to decipher, until it settles on the palate where some orange oils start to make themselves known. Seems like its geared more towards a vanilla character, though that's not a bad thing.

Can. There has been a very long line of Terry's Chocolate Orange beers. A fair few of them cask, and some of those have near nailed it. Here we have a hefty 11% canned version. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, good fine carbonation. Rich chocolate and dark chocolate. Well infused with rich and semi ripe orange and orange oils. Orange peel and a little floral orange. Mild vanilla. Some orange peel bitterness on the finish. Another very good beer from Wander Beyond. Fair bit of hop spice on the finish. Yeah good stuff.
