Panda thanks to Cloin: Poured a deep black brown with a whispery beige head. Aroma is chocolate, nutty, roasted malts, cracker. Taste is nutty, roasted malts, maple, light espresso, rich.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours jet black with a decent deep tan head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sticky, rich roasted malt, umami, charred action, maple glazed donut, chocolate, nutty, pecan pie, fudge and rocky road. The taste is dry, rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, toasted nuts, slick, toothy, treacle, fudgey, dull maple, chocolate, rocky road, touch of spice, light umami, charred accents and only a bit of alcohol with a dry, roasty bitter - sweet finish. Medium+ carbonation and moderate carbonation. I was worried that this would have been too sweet, but for me personally, this is very nice. Rounded, balanced and moreish.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from All Good Beer. Pours rich black-brown with a dense, cascading brown foam head. Moderately sweet, hearty, lots of thick chocolate character, maple accents, some fudge, strong roast, a little ash and earth, baking cocoa. Full bodied, lightly oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Softly warming finish, some sticky dark malts, burnt sugars, more bittersweet dark chocolate, toothy roast, ash, earth. Excellent.

Maple, pecan, lactose, chocolate
