Inspired by Bermondsey bakery @breadamanger ‘s world-class croissant. Infused with toasted almond & double chocolate flavours. Rich, decadent, and unctuous with a sweet, smooth nuttiness this will keep you warm & cosy through these winter nights.

Can. Not quite opaque dark brown beer, a good bubbly tan head but doesn't hang about. Crisp palate, mildly dry. Pretty crisp for the style, distractingly so for me. Somewhat thin bodied dark malts. Plenty of chocolate, a little dark chocolate, touch of milk chocolate. Some artificial chocolate. Tangy chocolate. Chocolate syrup. Almond used sparingly and only comes through on the back end. Not bad. This series was so good when it started but the the wheels fell off. This was one of the last I bought and if memory serves, it's better than the few that preceded it.

440ml can kindly shared by Finn. Pours a creamy fawn-coloured head over a back body, spotty lacing. Roasted grainy chocolate nose, inviting. Blended taste of dried fruits, chocolate and almond. The almond part lingers on towards a mid-dry fairly sweet endling, lightly roasted. Full bodied. Nice sipper. (Tromsø, 04.11.2023)

21/1/2023. Can shared at the first ITFC 2023 beer share. Bought direct from the brewery. Pours black with a small frothy tan coloured head. Aroma of almond, pastry, chocolate, nut. Medium sweetness, light but developing bitterness, and lots more almond on the taste. Medium body, smooth and creamy, soft carbonation. Finished with big almond, and a bit of cherry bakewell. Not my favourite BPAVK.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 11%. Pitch black colour, large to moderate tan head. Aroma of molasses, caramel, roast malts, chocolate and toasted almonds. Warming and rich mouthfeel, oily texture. Very sweet flavour with the same elements as the aroma, also notes of sweetened coffee, noticeable alcohol. Too sweet for me, really.
