Now this is beyond their normal weirdness. Coconut, sure. Cinnamon and coconut... ok. Even the vanilla and cacao can work. But adding Fenugreek?! No. It's pretty smooth, and the flavours are there, but just too much going on to work well. Tasty, but why..

28/7/2021. Can sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours almost black with a small tan coloured head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, cinnamon bun, rum truffle, coconut, lactose, boozy fruit cake, vanilla. Medium sweetness, mild roasted bitterness. Medium plus body, smooth texture, soft carbonation. Sweet coconut biscuit finish. Rich and warming, enjoyed it, though turned a little sickly sweet.
