From a 440ml can on 27/2/2020. Pours a very dark brown with teh barest of heads. Has an unusual sharp aroma, with some oak in the mix. The flavour features milk chocolate and a bit of caramel, plums and a bit of soy, some roasty notes, again with some oak at the back. The bitterness is quite sharp and dry. Slightly over-carbed with a slick mouthfeel. It maintain some interest flavour wise, but a bit rough and uncultured when the whole package is considered.

Very nice-looking can. Dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma of brooding mocha and roast, prunes, oaky shiraz. Pretty much how it tastes. Medium bodied, lowish carbonation. Torn on the palate a bit - it's drier than I'd have guessed with prominent oak that grips fairly early - on the one had I like the flavours and nothing really dominates; on the other it means it lacks a bit of richness and detracts from the depth. Alcohol completely hidden. Very good.
