Can. Waitrose. Slick and rich coffee and ginger biscuit. Hits the mark on all levels. Bonkers sweet but then it’s going to be. Impressive drinkability.

Aroma is quite artificial with cake frosting and cinnamon, dark coconut-chocolateish notes. not much roasted malts 6/10
flavor is a bit better, chocolate, cake frosting, coca-cola, vanilla, fainter roasted malts. Very cristmassy and pastry-ish, could do as a thinnish dessert-stout. 7/10
pal 3/5 ov 14/20

33 cl can @ home, BBE 31.08.2029

Aroma has cinnamon, licorice and alcohol. Flavour has cinnamon, licorice. Finishes with soy sauce and some coffee notes. Surprisingly thin for this ABV. Also the spiciness is a bit too high and coffee aromas are too mild.
