440ml can. Pitch black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, roast malts. Taste of coffee and roast malts, dark chocolate, dark malts, bitter. Medium body. It's nice but it feels like it's a non-adjunct stout masquerading as an adjunct stout., lacking the distinct coffee and chocolate it claims to be.

Can at home, 12th November 2020. Pours a black stout, big tan head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Taste is bitter chocolate and coffee, cocoa, roasted malts. The body lets it down as it’s not as rich and slick as it could be. Not bad

Dark beer, thick light brown head. Smellsike a coffee cream chocolate. Strong coffee hit, some dark chocolate, toasted malt. A little lively but a slightly watery finish. Still very tasty though. Too drinkable by half for nearly 7%.

Can from M&S, Guildford. Black coffee aroma. Underlying vanilla and sugar sweetness. Dark and glossy. A brown tint. Creamy foamy beige head. Initial sour berry coffee hit. This follows through, however a creamy edge develops. Thick bodied. Creamy. Average. Long astringent finish. Decent stuff but the aroma promises more complexity.
