On tap at CPK, Pimlico on 13th June 2025. Rated as a novelty ale. Almost impenetrably black with brown foam and spot lacing. Rich and intense chocolate and honeycomb aroma. Lush and rich milk chocolate in-mouth and a long, solid, satisfying finish of milk chocolate and the honeycomb flavour associated with a similarly named confectionery product. Velvet smooth mouthfeel and plenty of body to it. Utterly superb.

On tap at Low Key Taproom. Black beer lasting tan head. I mean it smells like a dark chocolate Crunchie bar. No messing. It has no harshness or heat. So smooth. Tastes like a crunchie bar. Crazy
Really loved it.

330ml can. Pours jet black with a thin head. Aroma is dark chocolate, roast, honeycomb and alcohol. Taste is sweet with honeycomb and milk chocolate. Boozy finish.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Red session), pours black, no head. Aroma has lots of maple crunch cereal, sugars, and alcohol. Flavour has plenty of maple crunch cereal, no malt base, intense sugars. This is really bad — no malt base, just lots of sugars and artificial adjuncts. Poor.

On tap at MBCC 2025, red session. Pours dark brown. Stale bread, dark chocolate on the nose. Flavour has bready malts, some crusts, dark chocolate. Okay, jumbled.
