(Can) Great looking beer - very dark brown with big dense tan head. Lovely aroma of chocolate and orange, albeit orange candy. Excellent mouthfeel, full bodied, smooth, creamy, soft carbonation. Taste is full of chocolate, with orange - Jaffa cake, not fresh orange. There’s some pleasant bitterness in the finish. In the background there is an odd, maybe medicinal note. The taste is very clever, and very enjoyable, but a little bit odd. Very enjoyable.

From a 440ml can on 31/8/2020. Pours a deep deep brown with a medium head. Has a super powerful choc orange nose, which is repeated in the flavour. Just think of a Jaffa in a beer. There's a firmish dark choc and roasty bitterness at the back that balances things quite nicely. The mouthfeel is syrupy, the carbonation moderate. Intense and pretty successful, but there's something just a touch artificial about it that detracts from the final experience, making it good rather than great.

440ml can. Deep brown. Big choc orange nose. It's a Jaffa. Sufficiently dark, dry chocolate to not be sickly sweet. The vanilla and caramel notes round it out nicely. Fun stuff.
