A rich decadent stout with big flavours of bitter chocolate tempered by milk sugars. Subtle undertones of dark caramel and coffee give a great depth of flavour and keep the sweetness balanced whilst the large quantity of raw cocoa nibs provide that unmistakable dark chocolate finish.

440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a big, lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is malt and dark chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a smooth, light chocolate, lactose palate with hints of coffee in the finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Ok, but a little light and watery.

Can from Beers of Europe. Appearance - opaque black with an attractive fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate, loads of lactose going on. Chocolate sauce. Taste - definitely chocolate sauce. Underlay of chocolate digestive. Palate - creamy textured, medium bodied. Quite sweet on the finish. Overall - fairly typical for the style. It's a style that gets a bit cloying and possibly suits a higher alcohol level.

Can from Elusive brewery. Rich dark chocolate and coffee aroma. Dark. A cola tint. Frothy beige head soon fades. Initial berry sourness. Underlying malty chocolate is overpowered. Some lactose creaminess. Medium bodied. Slick. A tad creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. It's fine. Could do with more of the promised chocolate.
