Pours black with a large tan sudsy head.
Nose shows caramel fudge, toffee and faint roast.
Flavours include more toffee, honeycomb and caramel fudge. Little else. A bit of a metallic finish.

(Can) Pours black with big fluffy brown head. Aroma of very prominent caramel with hints of chocolate. Medium bodied and smooth with plenty of very fine carbonation. Taste has an interesting balance of sweet, sour and bitter. At the start there is sweet, creamy caramel. This is fairly quickly joined by some citric tartness also followed quickly by a growing bitterness. This becomes quite harsh in burnt sugar way. Unusual, interesting, enjoyable but a bit off balance for me.

Can. Pretty much black with an inch of tan head. Aroma is mainly dark caramel, some roast and mocha. Only moderately sweet with roasted and hop bitterness reining things in nicely. Some spiced/ vanilla-tinged chocolate too.
