Dust of your copy of Predator(one of Arnies best). The "Stick around!" line from the movie got us thinking about 80s sticky gloopy sugary packet angel delight.

440ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roast malts, vanilla. Taste is initially sweet, rich dark chocolate, creamy vanilla, leading to strong roast malts and coffee like notes with the bitterness to match, all in all quite well balanced for a pastry stout. Finishes with a touch of booze. Full bodied, smooth. Excellent.

Can thanks to my bro. It pours jet black with a small, dark tan head. The aroma is sweet, perfumed, strawberry, angel delight jammy, rich roasted malt, coffee grounds, liquorice and dark chocolate. The taste is slick, oily, sticky, sappy, bitter - sweet, unctuous, rich roasted, charred wood, burnt toast, light ash, coffee grounds, warming alcohol, touch of strawberry fromage fraiche and light jam with a dry, rich roasted malt with a dry, toasty finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Overall good fun. Aroma is in line with the description, but taste is more classic imperial stout. Nice one.
