Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Cloudy black, small, foamy, beige head. Aroma of brownie, fondant sauce, dark fudge, dried fig, ripe plum, wood, sweet espresso, vanilla, vague pineapple. Taste has sweet fig & plum in a thick chocolatey malt body with caramel and soft bitter coffee, some creamy vanilla. Peppery hoppy finish, lingering fondant, woody vanilla and burnt wood, cream, warming brandy-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Cacao and lactose are very much present but the wood lends delicate balance to this 'Pastry'.

Bottle share at Hopdog München, Tuesday 9th November 2021 with Ratebeer group and Will from work. Pours black with a filmy beige head. Lots of tonka bean, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, in fact lots of chocolate, super smooth, this is literally puréed caribbean chocolate cake with a black forest gateaux twist and coconut, it's wonderful stuff.

Can. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is very intense cocoa, mild wood, indeed has a lot of tonka character, would also guess cinnamon or coconut - amazing what you can do with the right combination of cocoa and wood only. Taste is cocoa, lots of complexity, wood and tonka-like. Velvety mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Lovely stuff!

Tap at Siren, Tap Yard, 7th November 2021. Pours almost black, no head. Aroma is chocolate, spice, Tonka. Taste is dark chocolate and cocoa, wood, spice, tannins, almost chemical spice, probably the Tonka, never too sweet, smooth and easy drinking. Excellent
