568ml can from Redland Stores, Bristol. Near black in colour, with reddish undertones and a moderately-sized, beige, head that left plenty of lacing down the glass. Rich aroma of caramel and milk chocolate. Easy drinking with a lot more caramel and chocolate, and a hint of salt. The finish was rich and sweet, with a touch of toastiness. Excellent.
