At a tasting, smallish bubbly head, opaque very dark brown color, aroma of milk chocolate drink with an earthy hint, flavor of milk chocolate with mineral and metal hints and some vanila in the back, light noticable sourness. Nice but feels artificial..

473ml can from Bottlebox. Canned 12/28/17. Pours deep dark brown, almost black with a smooth white head. Aroma of strong artificial vanilla powder, cocoa, roastiness, chocolate and syrup. Taste is sweetish, slightly roasty and earthy with some vanilla, cocoa, chocolate and syrupy notes. Finish is sweetish and heavy with vanilla, vanillin sugar, syrup and cocoa notes. A bit artificial.

Can from March Brewdog Bottlebox [260318]
A7, N3, T7, P3, O15
Black, tan head dissipates quickly
Aroma of sweet dark chocolate cake, very noticeable vanilla, soft dark malts, no roast, sweet vanilla chocolate dessert beer
Taste of dark malts, touch of earthy roast in background, vanilla flavour, nice
Palate - Soft carb, bit thinner than expected for abv, alcohol well hiddden, fairly sweet. Finish as main flavour, fairly rapid
Overall - Dessert porter ... at least they are up front about the artificial vanilla

Thin beige head stayed on a crackling dark brown body.. Chocolate, coffee & cocoa aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the palate, very smooth and a tingle on back. Initial overdose of milk chocolate & vanilla followed by coffee, cocoa, & then the tastes really thins out to a bitter almost sour finish.

Can at BD Castlegate. It pours darkest brown with a tan head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, toasty, powdered chocolate, vanilla and Mars bar. The taste is bitter - sweet, toasty, roasted malt, sticky, milk chocolate, powdered chocolate, vanilla, toffee, Mars bar, bit of coffee grounds and a touch of alcohol warmth with a sweet, milk chocolate finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth and perhaps a touch sweet, but is way more drinkable than it should be.
