Layer Cake, a rich and decadent stout that has to be tried to be believed. Layering marshmallow, chocolate brownie, vanilla and cocoa nibs, this is a dessert in a can.

Can at home. Pours brownish black with quickly disappearing beige head. Nose is sweet candy, chocolate, light fruity notes that remind me of strawberry for some reason, some booze. Taste is sweet malts, chocolate, artificial candy, booze again. Closes with sweet finish, has a full, creamy body and soft carbonation. Overwhelmingly sweet and unpleasantly artificial. Nah.

Lattina. Al naso arrivano indizi di cioccolato, o meglio, cioccolata. La finezza olfattiva è elevata, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore color marrone castagno resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crostata, cioccolato fondente, caffèttino, agrumi, scorza d'arancia, cream caramel, vaniglia e tabacco.

Аромат действительно зефирный, много сладости, есть сливочность, ванилька, шоколадка молочная и карамельки немного, есть орешки. Цвет черный, пенка средняя, кофейная. Вкус немного теряется. Уже больше шоколада но почти без орехов, и зефирность не сбалансирована. При глотке какая то приторность. Снова вкус немного забивается от какой то приторности, как будто от топленого горячего шоколада, но погоды это не делает. В целом, просто норм, не более.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Strong marshmallow aroma with milk chocolate, caramel, candy, roasted malt. Flavour is sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Bittersweet, roasty and candied with lots of marshmallow. I care not for marshmallow.

Can from Asda, Minworth. Pours black with small tight beige head, great retention and lacing. Aroma or marshmallows, lactose and chocolate. Everything you would expect. Taste is balanced between sweet and bitter, nice chocolate element running through this, marshmallow adds a dimension although slightly artificial, light roastiness, cola. Smooth medium body. Quite good.
