Cask at the Peterborough Beer and Cider Festival 2024 with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts, salted caramel, dark fruit and vanilla. Really follows through with good body. A nice mix of bitterness and sweetness. Very good.

Can from Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge. Black with a very thin head. Boozy in aroma and taste, although some stout character including some chocolate exists too.

Black beer, thick brown head. Distinct saltiness in the aroma, dark chocolate, heaps of malt. Flavour follows up. Salt, dark chocolate, sweet and toasty malt, a little anise. Big, sweet, the salt and bitterness of the chocolate really gives this a nice balance. Good body to it, really delicious.
