From a 440ml can on 27/7/2023. Pours a deep dark brown with no discernible head. Has a pleasant rich chocolate and cakey nose. Tastes quite intense and very sweet as you expect. Lots of milk chocolate and vanilla, and hints of marshmallow. Finishes with a sharpish bitterness and a boozy kick, as you'd expect from a 12 per center. The body's not as full as I was expecting for something this size, with the palate more oily than creamy. The carbonation is moderate. Quite straight forward but still a nicely done big pastry brew.
