Can. Tesco, I think. Nearly black with a dense and creamy, lasting, lacing, pale tan head. Nose has sweet gateau. Strawberry or cherry. Dunno if they are an ingredient because the print is poor, but it definitely seems that way. Anyway, it’s cakey. Taste is super sweet, with some tangy bitterness not quite managing to balance that so much. Smooth mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Tangy finish.

Can, small head, opaque extremely dark brown color, aroma of milk chocolate, strawberry marshmallow and vanila, flavor of strawberry marshmallow and chocolate cake and some fudge, light mellow sweetness. The flavors feel a bit artificial, but everything finds it's right place and beer is very nicely balanced. Goody.

Can: Literally black, small tanned foamy layer, moderate sweet-bitter nose of toasted malt and chocolate, heavily dominated by (artificial) vanilla, mild and fruity port-vinous traces underneath; solid sweet-bitter flavour, pretty full bodied, pretty soft; lingering and warming sweet-bitter finish with chocolate and vanilla and a certain fruitiness, reminding You of cherries. Pretty disgusting. Even after washing the glass several times , the vanilla was still well detectable...

Can. Black body with a thin beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of toasted marshmallow and chocolate. Flavour of milk chocolate and burnt sugar. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. It’s not my favourite style but this has been well executed.
