Can #0027 from Westhill Service Station. It pours opaque jet black with a quickly dissipating brown head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, oily, unctuous, whisky fudge, touch of vanilla, toasted coconut, bounty bar, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, slightly charred, tobacco, dried fruits, raisin, sultana and toasted fruit cake. The taste is dark roasted malt, slick, oily, bitter - sweet, plenty of chocolate, gateaux, vanilla, toasted coconut, dark chocolate bounty bar, whisky fudge, floral whisky, rocky road, toffee crisp, honeycomb crunch and a touch of alcohol warmth with a roasty finish. Medium - fullsome body, average carbonation and velvety mouth feel. Pretty decent stuff.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - mat brown to black with a beige to tan head. Nose - herby and minty, some caramel. Taste - caramel or fudge, floral honey, syrup and still herbal. Palate - medium bodied, sweet finish. Overall - decent.

Can thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours black with a thick tan head. Aromas of sherry, whisky and chocolate. Something oddly grassy on the nose too. Even menthol. Taste is more in the right ballpark. Boozy chocolate liqueur. It's alright.
