Can on 712 heading South, thanks to the Wingman, 26/02/23. Light black with a decent khaki head that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is dark malts, dried fruit rinds, charr, cocoa powder. Taste comprises chocolate, vanilla, light roast, brown sugar dusting, toffee. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Tidy enough stout.

440ml can from the Craft Bar, Scarborough. Dark pour, beige head. Good malty nose, caramel glimpses. Quite a flavoursome stout, nice cocoa notes, moderate roast, chocolate malt with a soft bitter close. Decent.

24/1/2022. Can from Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours black with a frothy beige head. Aroma is dark chocolate, roasted malt, liquorice, ash, touch of dark fruits and berries with some waxy coconut coming through late on. Medium sweetness, mild roasted bitterness. Medium to full body, sticky almost cloying texture develops, softening carbonation. Developed nicely as it warmed from it's fridge cold start. Nice work overall.

Tight tan head quickly left a spotty cover on a deep mahogany coloured body. Chocolate, malt & cocoa aroma. Medium bodied, smooth, silky & soft with a nicely carbonated cloying back. Chocolate, malt, biscuit, boozy & berry tastes with a sweet jam like finish. Decent enough.

Can ordered from Vittles and Company, Hull. Aroma of rich coconut, with sweet berries. A touch of spice and malts. Dark and glossy. Red tint. Foamy microbubbled beige head is short-lived. Sour. Medium. Dark berries. Low key chocolate and malts. Bitter finish. Gets more chocolatey at that point too. Medium bodied. Creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. It's fine. Just would prefer more choc choc and less berries. The aftertaste ain't doing much for me.
