Low tan head on a near black body. Nose features dark chocolate, ripe dark berries and vanilla with a slightly metalic, ashy edge. Rich dark chocolate, chocolate milk, cinnamon, blackberries, roasted malt and butter create a rich IS mix. Dense and slightly slick. Sweet, but holds it together thanks to the additional tastes.

Black with a minimal tan head. Aroma of big cocoa powder, lactose, vanilla, toffee. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Decent but a little fake and too sweet.
