Forget the notion this is a beer style that has had its day.
Instead, think of it as honeycomb covered in chocolate, because that’s exactly what it tastes like: rich, unctuous and an absolutely decadent treat of a beer.

330ml can - Pours black with a small thin tan head that settled. Aroma is coffee and dark roasted malts. A moderately sweet taste, black coffee, roasted grain and light chocolate flavours. Not not much bitterness and a bit watery but okay.

Can (1/25/21) pour from Total Wine & More, Natick. It's an opaque black with light sparkle, finger-width light brown head with decent retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt, baker's chocolate and mild coffee. Taste is strong roasted malt/burnt coffee with mild cola as noted in previous review. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste with lingering roasted bitterness. Overall, how did this avoid being completely atrocious? Non-alcoholic, old, AND it contains Milk (not mild SUGAR, actual MILK) AND sat on a shelf instead of in a refrigerator! Wasn't rancid but lacked sweet balance to the roasted bitterness. Still, aroma and flavor were strong.

So thin... Chocolate is really present. Zero effervescence.

Dark brown colour, looks fairly thin, with bug bubbles for head, a ten-second retention with no lacing left. Big-big aromas of coffee and chocolate, over the roasted malts. The taste really shows the burnt aspect of the roasted barley, with hints of leather and tobacco. It does have some decent notes of a stout, but you can see what the alcohol normally blends. I would take a black coffee of this, even though some hops do come out at last pour. Preferred the Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5% ABV I just had before.

Can at home picked up from Siren online. A opaque dark bronw black coloured pour with a lasting mid tan froth. Aroma is dry earthy roast, campfire, liquorice, charred wood, mineral. Flavour is composed of dry woody malts, roast, some creamy oatmeal rounding it out, bark, char, some mineral. Palate is thin, light creamy roundness. privkly carbonation. Decent substitute.

330ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Very dark brown with a little bit of light getting through. Topped with a khaki/brown head. Sweet-smelling aroma with lots of creamy chocolate. Tastes sweet as well but there's a little bit of stone-fruit bitterness... a lot of chocolate and coffee in the aftertaste. Light body, medium carbonation. Excellent for a low-alcohol brew.
