No head, black beer. Vanilla and liqueur. Some coffee and chocolate in the background. Sweet, woody-bitterish (roast, not hoppy) flavour, almost cloying. Sicky sweet, some invisible carbonation. Way too sweet, and that's putting it mildly. Yet, in some way, they've made it palatable. Just.

330ml slim can. Pitch black pour with a minimal tan head. Aroma of coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate. Taste of sweet dark chocolate and vanilla, bitter coffee, biscuit and roast malt. Full bodied, smooth, some boozy warmth. Very tasty stuff, perhaps a step down from previous Crema series beers though?
