Can shared in London - cheers to Ken. Pours deep brown with a creamy tan head. Medium to big sweet with notes of sugar syrup, marshmallows, vanilla. Full bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Sweet and lightly warming finish.

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare. Thanks to Cloin for the can. Almost opaque dark brown beer, short lived thin tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Thinnish dark malts, modest dark chocolate. Slight savoury vibe balances obvious ripe banana. Little caramel on the semi dry finish. Nice brew, absolutely could not drink a pint.

Growler from Low Cost Beer. Appearance - opaque black with a crema head. Nose - mainly peanut with an edge of banana, then comes the chocolate. Taste - chocolate, hazelnut and praline. Palate - medium bodied, creamy middle and fairly sweet still on the finish. Overall - it's enjoyable but a bit too dominated by adjuncts.

Tap @ The Town Mouse, Newcastle
Dark brown colour, tiny beige head. Sweet waffle and peanut butter aroma. Medium-bodied. Waffles, peanut butter and booze in the flavour. A bit rough but ok.
