440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown almost black colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, big chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, caramel, chocolate, marzipan, light fake sugar, liqourice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of caramel, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, bisquits, chocolate, and roasted malt, leading to a bitter finish.

440ml can. Pours black with a massive beige head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel. Taste is very sweet, lots of milk chocolate, caramel, biscuity malts - though could do with more to really sell the Twix recreation. Alcohol is hidden, body is lighter than you'd expect for the strength.
