From a 440ml can on 16/6/2024. Might well be my last Deeds rating. Pours near black with a medium to biggish light tan head. Has a quite strong choc cherry nose. The flavour is all bitter-sweet dark chocolate and cherries, with some chocolate brownie notes. Finishes with a firmish roasty, lingering bitterness. Lightly syrupy palate with moderate carbonation. Mildly dessertish. Quite complex and really well balanced. If this is my farewell to Deeds, it's a very nice way to go out.
