Dark brown pour, medium beige head. Aroma is semi sweet hazelnut, toasty, nutty, toffee. Nice mouth feel, creamy carb. Lovely nutty, hazelnut and roasty finish, low bitterness, a nice quaff.

Less rich and creamy than I expected. Aromas of chocolate, cherry, apple and a little hazelnut. More hazelnut on tasting, but those tarter flavours are still present, and the cherry lingers longest at the finish. I'm not a cherry fan, which doesn't help, but there are some good elements.

From a 440ml can on 27/5/2021. Pours a super dark amber/brown with a small to medium head. Has a nice strong chocolate nose. Tastes of dark and milk chocolate and cocoa, with a bit of hazlenut, but less than I was expecting. Has a nice dark choc bitterness at the back. The mouthfeel is a touch syrupy, the carbonation moderate. Very tasty and really well done.

(On tap) Pours black with shortlived tan head. Lovely intense nutty aroma with chocolate notes. Medium body with good full carbonation. Awesome taste - very nutty with plenty of dark chocolate. Very impressive.

Bottle. All chocolate on the nose. Pours dark brown. Medium-bodied. Hazelnut balances very well with choc to make for a wonderful rendering of Nutella in a bottle.
