Black colored, medium beige creamy head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, cocoa, artificial syrupy sweetish aroma. Taste is very sweet and sugary, dark malty, roast, cocoa, strong caramel and too much salt, moderate roast, some soury notes in the finish, boozy. Full bodied, soft carbonation, thick syrupy.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours black-brown with a foamy, khaki head. Pretty decent, ample dark sugars, background coffee, sturdy roast, some ash, bittersweet cocoa. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, further well roasted malts, baking cocoa, torched sugars. Not bad.

Canned, 330 ml at Northern Lights, Belfast. Black with dense beige head. Chocolate, roasted, sweet, aftertaste exactly as advertised - salty caramel. Moderate sweetness, bitter finish. Nice caramel aroma. Smooth. Medium to full bodied.
It is what it says it is, and it is delicious. Amazingly rich, super thick, sweet, salty, caramelly and yet still beer'y. Loads of chocolate, like a good chocolate caramel sauce, not super synthetic as some other brewers do. Very delicious, great dessert.

Tried in a can at the Strait and Narrow, Lincoln. Almost black colour with a thick and tight tan head. Aroma has roasted malty chocolate and coffee, with the salted caramel. Taste in mainly sweet, but not overly so and balanced with the hints of salt. Full and rich body, very drinkable. Loved it.
