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.

Dark, dark brown with a beige head. Cotton candy and chocolate aroma that trends artificial. Taste is cloying sweet, a mix of Dr Pepper, Tootsie Roll and artificial fruit syrups. Body to the full side of medium, mildish carbonation after an initial fizz. Kind of a mess.

440ml can, drank at home on 18th March 2022. Oily black body, decent beige head. Sweet overall, marshmallow's I suppose, chocolatey base, should have had a cake with it.

Not liking marhmallows in general did not really help. Dark pour with small white head. Aromas of dark chocolate at first, but then marshmallow/artifical sweetener takes over. Marshmallow/sickly sweet taste hits you first/overly sweet without any nuances, malty/dark chocolate notes after the third/fourth sip - it gets better (or rather less bad)

Can. Black featuring a lovely beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, perfume and marshmallows. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, milk, vanilla and overpowering artificial marshmallows. The sweetness is thankfully counterbalanced by a rather impressive bitterness. Medium carbonation. Pretty distinctive alcoholic warmth. It’s a Pastry Stout so I shouldn’t complain too much but the artificiality of it all is just too much for me.

440ml can bought from Asda and drunk at home. Very dark brown with lots of translucency when held up to thenlight and a ring of beige head. Boozy medicinal smell with notes of vanilla extract and coconut. Tastes very sweet and very boozy with more coconut and red grape. Long sweet finish with a bit of chocolate alongside rhe other flavours. Decent but not their 'A' game.

Pours to a deep ruby red dark brown. Dark tan slowly dissipating head. Pure sweet marshmallow on the nose. Dominant flavour is marshmallow too, floating in an intensely sweet chocolate. Nice lingering dark chocolate and coffee taste. Interesting but not very complex. A bit too novelty to drink regularly.

44 cl. can shared with Hilde @ home, bought online @ Brewdog, beer 11 of the 2021 advent calendar.
Black with a beige head. Vanilla, marshmallow and chocolate aroma. Very sweet taste with a sweet finish. Little roast but heavy on the lactose making this a smooth drink.
