330ml can from Mitchells Wines, Meadowhead - Another jet black body, dark beige head. Nose is strong coffee, alcohol, feint vanilla and chocolate. Taste has an alcohol burn upfront, bitter coffee eased off by a sweet vanilla. Thick and oily. Not as good as Bad Kitty if that makes sense.

330ml can delivered from the Blue Boar, Leicester, and drunk at home. Dark brown, barely translucent with a beige head which quickly dissipates. Vanilla, coffee, caramel and some black grape on the nose. Sweet taste, lightly fruity with some hop bitterness in the finish. More grape and vanilla in the aftertaste. Medium carbonation. It's decent.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - dark brown to black. Off white head. Nose - dank with subtle chocolate. Bran flakes. Taste - dark chocolate and light smoke. Palate - medium bodied, dry and toasty through middle and finish. Overall - good, if a bit gnarly.

Black beer, head fizzles out pretty quickly. Big chocolatey vanilla aroma that hit me as soon as I popped the can. Taste has rich chocolate, a little coffee, vanilla, maybe a hint of anise and there's a little boozy warmth to it. Very rich and very tasty.

Can: Gushed as soon as the top was popped, deep black with huge brown head. Aroma was vinegar fruit some roast, very pungent offness. Taste was undrinkable sourness, some molasses. Drain pour, which is unfortunate.

25/10/2019. Can sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours almost black with a small frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, light toffee, leather and molasses. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Full body, slick texture, average to soft carbonation. Roasted, earthy, boozy, dark fruit finish. Quite moreish.
