Subtle kettle additions of Fuggles is in the background but it let’s the heroes of the beer shine through. Big notes of coffee and dark chocolate from the specialty malt, with that silkiness and full body from the oats giving it a creamy, velvety mouthfeel.

From a 375ml can on 24/4/2021 (shared with Butz). Pours near black with a smallish tan head. Has a strong aroma, of dark chocolate, burnt toffee, roasted malt and a bit of fridge. Has a good dash of milk chocolate, fudgey and brown sugar sweetness up front, along with some slightly burnt toffee and caramel notes, followed by a reasonably sharp, intense, warming bitterness. The mouthfeel is syrupy, the carbonation moderate. A complex and intense impy whcih comes together very nicely.

Can. Very black with a brown head that doesn't last all that long. Intense mocha and Indian sweet aroma with singed milk caramel and spices. Silky with low carbonation. Sweet mocha, singed caramel and roast but the spicy bitter finish is toppy and insistent. Nimble and unusual.

(Can) Beautiful looking beer - pours black with dense medium brown head. Lovely aroma of coffee, chocolate, smoky notes. Great mouthfeel - rich, thick, full bodied, slightly sticky with modest carbonation that is smooth, mouth filling and finely prickly. Taste is rich, complex and well balanced. There’s a dark toffee sweetness as a backbone but well balanced. Balance comes from coffee and dark chocolate both giving bitter flavours, and from some dried fruit, raisin fruitiness, and from some booze bite, and some hoppy bitterness, and hints of soy in the finish. Excellent.
