4/5/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours black with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, raspberry, toffee, roasted malt, light nut and a touch of molasses. Moderate sweetness and medium roasted bitterness. Medium to full body, slick texture, soft carbonation. I liked this.

Bottle: Poured a black with a light brown ring. Aroma is super chocolate with raspberry fruit. Taste is super raspberry, chocolate, some waxy, roasted malts, drying finish.

330ml bottle @ Tap and Can, shared with Rod B. Pours unclear dark, large beige head. Jammy nose, chocolatey desert. Oily body, sumptuous chocolate cake with good jammy interjections. Grainy malt. Very good.

Opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth and fairly light palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin but we'll flavoured dark chocolate, well offset with a mildly tart and fruity raspberry. Little blackberry. Light smooth finish. Pretty darn drinkable but I wanted something more luxuriant.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from RAD Beer online. Pours oily black-brown with a dense, frothy beige head. Delivers on the description, with nice rich, fresh raspberry character, dark chocolate, restrained sweetness, background roast, minimal alcohol presence. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Only mild warmth in the finish, more raspberry notes, bittersweet cocoa, some earthy bitterness. Very good stuff overall.
