500ml can. Pour black. Dry cocoa nose with some raspberry cordial. Bit of vanilla in flavour too. This is all a bit too candy-ish, with nothing cakey and no real oomph. More like a stout that someone added flavouring to.

From a 500ml can on 12/9/2020 (shared with Butz). Pours not far off black with a smallish head. Both the nose and taste feature lost of raspberry against a chocolate background. While quite sweet upfront, it dishes out quite a strong roasty, and ever so slightly sour, which takes away from its pastry nature and the overall experience. Full bodied with moderate carbonation. Interesting but didn't quite win me over.
