(Draught at BrewDog Camden, London, 9 May 2024) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, cacao, vanilla and coconut. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with notes of chocolate, cacao, vanilla, sweet espresso, coconut, treacle and a balanced cacao bitterness in a sweetish, warming finish. Full body, quite sweet. A bit sweet and boozy, but really rich and tasty. Very nice.

Taste comprises chocolate melt, toffee fudge, mellow roast, coconut, vanilla essence, light spice balance. Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.

Tap at Brewdog Waterloo. A clear dark mahogany brown coloured pour with a fading light tan head. Aroma is sticky brown sugars, boozy, oak, bourbon, barley wine. Some white raisin. Flavour is composed of nice toffee, praline, light chocolate, hazelnut, rocky road vibes, palate is semi sweet oily, mellow carbonation. Good stuff.
