330ml can. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, nutty and light chocolate. The flavour is strong sugary sweet, with a silky smooth, rich, sugary sweet, vanilla, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. The commercial description hypes it up and given that Dubai Chocolate is mentioned, probably boosts sales, but at the end of the day it’s just a big rich boozy burning alcohol sugar bomb. It’s very unrefined to me and just panders to the Dubai hype. It’s really not that great and I wouldn’t buy this again.

330ml can from Oban Beer Shop - Jet black, no head. Big oil slick of a beer, loads of sickly chocolate, underpinned with a sweet nutty pistachio vibe, pretty solid replica of the over hyped, over priced confectionary from the middle east. Vault City should stick to impys not sours.
