Can. Black with a cm of tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roast, biscuit, caramel syrup. 7+ Fair bit of body but it's just short of syrupy. Not as sweet as expected (maybe at 9C it's colder than I would have normally gone for, but it seems about right) with bitter chocolate, some roast and salt as well as bitterness to balance. Just seems lighter and less wearing on the palate than these things often do. Noice sloice.

Can. Dark brown. Toffee and fudge nose. Lush dessert flavours abound. Caramel, some choc, biscuit malts and a little salt makes for a sweet (but not too sweet) glass'o'fun. Let it warm to really relish. Think I'll buy some more.

From a 355ml can on 2/5/2020 (can lists it as 8.2% abv, yet the blurb on the can says 9%). Pours a deep brown with small head. The nose features lots of caramel, toffee and fudge. Tastes very dessertish, as the name would imply - more caramel and toffee, with some milk chocolate, butterscotch and a touch of salt, against a biscuit and mild roasted malt background with a hint of booze. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation moderate. Could perhaps have just a touch more to balance out the sweetness but it's still a very enjoyable, rich dessert impy.
