Can from Beer Republic. Cloudy black, small, foamy, brown head. Aroma of moelleux, chocolate sauce, fondant, vanilla bean, raspberry coulis, brandy, wood. Taste has sweet candied fig, apple & raspberry in a thick chocolatey malt body; delicate praliné & vanilla notes. Herbal hoppy finish offering dark chocolate, raspberry, woody vanilla and warming brandy-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Balanced yet intense mix of flavours.

12oz can from my brother. Near brown pour, fizzy head, thin beige ring. Aroma brings vanilla first, then a combo of chocolate and raspberries. The taste turns this around, chocolate up front, then the berries, light notes of vanilla. Fairly thick and syrupy, sweet.

A black beer, a head is medium and brown. Aroma has chocolate, roastiness, light barrel and berries. Taste has liquorice, sweetness of malts, light barrel and bourbon, hint of berries. Full bodied, slight stickyness. Tasteful beer, quite nicely balanced.

Pitch black pour with a thin tan head. Cacao nibs, raspberries, dark chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, more fruit, some boozy barrel. Feels a bit artificial, but otherwise pretty decent.

Pours pitch black, a brown head with a little retention. Aroma's: big raspberry and chocolate, mon cheri (but with raspberry rather than cherry), boozy. Retronasal the chocolate is more pronounced, the raspberry a bit subdued, sweet, liqueur. Flavour is above moderate sweet, roasty, chocolate, fruity. Rather full bodied. Alcohol is well hidden. Finishes with lots of chocolate, slightly roasty bitterish.

Can picked up from Beyond Beer Webshop Hamburg and consumed at Wohnmobil Stellplatz Bernau, Mr Chiemsee, Friday 28th May 2021 sat outside Frank camper, we had an excellent Chilli con Carne for tea tonight. Pours black with a fast disappearing tan head. Unusual aroma, I get a fermenting yeasty nose, Loz gets out and out yeast aroma. Raspberries and chocolate, smooth and yet tangy, super interesting.

Päris lääge kraam, isegi vaarikad ei suuda tasakaalustada. Šokolaad on siin muidu iseenesest äge. 3.4
