[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy deep brown colour with an immediately vanishing beige head; aroma of chocolate syrup; syrupy in the mouth too, with a sweet chocolate taste, and an unsettling herbal bitterness; then a sweet malty finish.

330ml can via Beer52, can claims it's a Chocolate Porter. Drank at home on 11th June 2025. Last beer of a heavy drinking day. Near black bodied, tanned topping. Malty with a definite chocolate leaning throughout. Nice finish to the day.

330ml can from Beer52. Pours a dark brown to near black with beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, hint of berry, some sweetness - not picking up much chocolate. Taste has a lot more of the latter although no real malt layers here. On the other hand there is some complexity from the earthiness and hops with blueberry, wood, herbal notes which helps to give an enjoyable finish to this. Overall it was quite enjoyable.

Lattina. Arco olfattivo dominato dall'orzo tostato, caffè e cioccolato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al palato prevalgono impressioni di miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso e agrumi.

Can. Pours black with big and frothy white head. Aroma is dark malts, roasted barley and lots of herbal hops. Earthy and foresty, I even get some blueberry. Light to medium body. Flavour is malty, quite sweet, bitter, hoppy. Lots of dark malts and roasted barley, coffee, some chocolate. Nice hops, herbal and earthy, lots of pine, some resin, foresty throughout. Long bittersweet finish. Lovely! A true India stout, well presented and drinkable. I would just have preferred a bit more body, guess 7abv or so would have been better for that.
