Can. Opens with a pretty big pffft of air. Opaque dark brown beer with a suspiciously large tan head. Airy fluffy palate, decent fine carbonation. Fairly dry and thin dark malts. Some decent dark malt cream. Things go downhill for me. Tonka and honey are obvious and they don't do anything for each other. Light semi dry finish. Bleh. There is nothing wrong with the brewing but the flavours chosen are really grating for me.

Can delivered from the Blue Boar, Leicester and drunk at home. Dark brown, almost black and opaque with a huge creamy light brown head. Smells of cappuccino, vanilla, some tonka bean and a touch of liquorice. Taste is nicely balanced, not too sweet with an earthy bitter hop mid-sip to the finish. More light coffee in the finish. Medium to high carbonation. The tonka bean gives it a lively flavour without overpowering. Surprisingly nice.

Can sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Black, brown head. Lots of coffee, a bit of tonka, roast, sweetish, a bit of lactose, sourish note.

Can from RAD Beer. Black body with a thick tan head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of black bean, beef stock and coffee. Flavour of ash, rust and toffee with a peppery finish. Soft fizz. An interesting beer that, for me, didn’t quite live up to the promise of the aroma.
