Bottle ordered from Tick Beer. Aroma has chocolate malts and dark coffee. Smooth vanilla edge. Dark. Cola tint. Creamy beige head. Light bitter. Sour edge. Coffee and berries. A light sweet periphery. Light-medium bodied. Creamy but thin. Flat-average carbonation. Long astringent finish. After an initial damp squib opening it develops some character. However it's still somewhat uninspiring.

Bottle from Tick Beer. Appearance - deep brown to black with red chinks and a thin off white head.. Nose - rich chocolate and biscuit. Taste - chocolate cake and biscuit. Palate - medium bodied, creamy and a roasty finish. Overall - decent but not really getting the vanilla.

Bottle from the brewery. Black with a barely-there head and a middling fizz. A little fruit in the aroma. Light vanilla creaminess in the flavour, with cola and a light roastiness. Maybe a tad thin for the style and strength, but pleasant enough overall.
