Widgetless nitro can. I am a bit of a believer in the breadth of Bridge Road's offerings, from simple quaffers to things getting on for esoteric. But. Clear dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of nutty chocolate cake batter with a spicy hop note that means it kind of smells like beer. Smooth. Pretty much flat. Very sweet but not tbqh as sweet as feared with chocolate, gentle roast, caramel, something slightly fake and burnt. The spiced bitterness that finishes it helps. Rather strong for what it offers and not very good.

From a 355ml can on 1/7/2020. Pours a deep amber with a medium to large foamy head. Has a light chocolate and fruitcake aroma. Tastes of muted caramel, chocolate and a hint of banana finished off by a very modest roasty bitterness. The mouthfeel is creamy, the carbonation flat, even for a nitro. You'd never guess it's 6.9%. Messy and underwhelming.

Nitro can. Caramel brown. Banana and caramel nose. More chocloate in glass. Creamy nitro mouthfeel. A curious allspice flavour that lingers and lingers. Doesn't really work for me.
