440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a clear almost black colour with a round frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, big milk chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a silky smooth, rich, roasty, chocolate, vanilla, warm boozy alcohol bitter finish. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. I expected a sugar bomb, but was pleasantly surprised. Nicely balanced and dangerously drinkable.

440 ml can, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 12.0%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Intense aroma of cocoa / chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Very sweet flavour, with loads of the same elements as the aroma. I recommend sharing the can between 2 persons.

Pålitelige notater fra Mi2 feb-24: brunsvart med ok skum. Kakao, mørk kokesjokolade type Freias Dronningsjokolade og litt bærsyre. Mye bedre balansert enn sukkersjokket i forrige utskjenking (Azvek Strategic Reserve), og de mørke sjokoladene henger igjen i den gode ettersmaken. 0,44 boks.

Shared can at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours black with light brown head. Distinct aroma of chocolate and ethanol, some fruity notes. Tastes pretty sweet with balancing bitterness. Medium bodied, alcoholic warmth and sharpness.

Can sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Black. Lots of chocolate, candy, fruitiness, sweetish-sourish, a bit umami.

Can. Opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth airy palate, decent fine carbonation. Very nice chocolate malts, milk chocolate and chocolate ganache, very light vanilla. Boozy and slightly spicy chocolate liqueur. Smooth finish leaves a boozy chocolate linger. Yeah, a super drinkable choco boozy treat, pitched perfectly.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes and shared at a drinking session with Finn and lmojoh. Slowly diminishing tan coloured head, black in the glass, fragile lacing. Chocolate nose, some burnt sugar to it, roasted. Solid taste profile of cocoa, chocolate, and roasted coffee. Warming and long-lived finish. Nice slow sipper. (Tromsø 15.12.2022).

Spandert av Rune. Delt med ham & lmojoh i Dr. Lies gt. Svart. Brunt filmskum. Aroma av kaffe & vanilje. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken mest vanilje. Fortsatt søtt. Tørr avslutning. Fortsatt kaffe.
