440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, dark chocolate and caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a silky smooth, rich, roasty, chocolate, earthy, herbal, dry coffee, liqourice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Super tasty but a touch light for me and with lots of initial carbonation which didn’t impress.

Tap at The Hive Crowthorne, 18th September 2021. Pours thick and black. Aroma has chocolate and cocoa, coffee. Taste is smooth, loads of chocolate, sweet and rich, some complexity to it and pretty drinkable, it so great in the September sun though
