440ml can. Pours almost black, beige/tan head with good retention. Aroma of sweet caramel, chocolate. Taste is very sweet, caramel, salt, chocolate gets more evident after it warms, just a hint of dark fruit notes. Full bodied, velvety smooth mouthfeel. Nails the brief.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Very dark, conker brown. Mostly clear. Thin, messy, leggy, lasting, tan head. Looks good. Nose has salted caramel chocolate. And you can leave it at that, really. Job done. Taste is sweet and salty in equal measure. Touch of vine fruit bitterness. Some hop bitterness, too. Smooth mouthfeel. Pretty slick and rich. Fine carbonation. Salty and fruity bitterness to finish. Nails it.

Can. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, slightly soft but with decent trailing carbonation. Rich but smooth dark malts. Boozy dark chocolate liqueur. The salted caramel aspect is pretty feckin salty! Too much so to be frank. Some dark fruits on the end. Yeah, feels like some weird Imperial Chocolate Gose or something. Not hating it but it is a bit clunky.
