Tap at Beer Hunters. Opaque color, small beige head. Coffee and chocolate in the nose. Full-bodied. Toasted malty, coffee, some hops, cocoa. Finish has sweet spot. Flavour is good but a bit simple for its ABV

Tasting glass draft @ Beerlovers Bar. Black, creamy head, looks lovely. Nose is thick mocha, chocolate, sweet chocolate, mocha, chocolate pralines, low roasted coffee. Taste is sweet mocha, chocolate, coffee, low coffee roast, easy mocha & milk chocolate, sugar, pretty easy, nice sweet notes. Like this so much more than previous version which was far too umami for me. This is solid mocha, chocolate roast, sweet, low coffee bitterness. Very thick & creamy, could use bit more complexity but very nice all the same.

Draft at De Kromme Haring. Black with a thick beige head. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, caramel, molasses, licorice, very light burnt notes and a touch of overripe dark fruit. Flavour is heavy sweet and above moderate bitter. Full bodied with a thick texture and soft carbonation.

Keg at The Pint Shop, Oxford, Friday 28th October 2016 Pours black with a tan head. Wow this is a corker, lots and lots of chocolate a little creamy edge, roasty, bitter edge, I rather like the hoppy bitter bite throughout. Loving the dark bitter chocolate. This is a jolly good beer. A8 A5 T9 P4 Ov17 4.3

(Keg at OlutExpo 2016) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, liquorice and cocoa. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were dark chocolate, ash, burnt malts, liquorice, milk chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, burnt and bitter. A pleasant strong brew that hid its high ABV well.
