Draught @ Dead Crafty, Liverpool. Pours black, deep bubbly tan head. Very well integrated raspberry and full bodied chocolate.. more raspberry was expected, so marked down for this, but otherwise very enjoyable.

Draught @ Ya Bard, Stratford Upon Avon. Pours black, sparse off-white sheet atop that starts to dissipate. Decadent beginnings.. smooth, full bodied with a rich chocolate profile, would've went well with a toblerone but doesn't actually taste of toblerone whatsoever.. no honey, no almond very chocolate heavy.. marked down for this, but otherwise quite nice.

Draught @ Ya Bard, Stratford Upon Avon. Pours a hazed red, small white head. Fruit polo vibes.. smooth red berry fruits, nicely fruity, but not getting much of the wine gum flavour profile.

Can 44 cl. Pours a deep, bloody red with a red head - and at the bottom is a fat, thick, smoothie like liquid, that turns your glass sticky, greasy and dirty. Blackcurrant aroma, but not overly intense. Medium body, thick, smoothie like texture with an underlying note of dry white wine. Slight texture. A very strange creation. Not my thing at all. 280226

Appearance is nearly black, with a small beige head which fades quickly. Aroma/ lots of chocolate, cocoa, dark malts, roast malt, coffee hints, more chocolate. Taste is lots of thick chocolate, toffee hints, roast malt, tiramisu, chocolate torte, chocolate sauce, essentially thick and rich chocolate, brown sugar, blended brownie. Slight nutty vibe at the end.

440ml can bought from Tønne, Leicester. Pours a deep gold and clear with almost no head. Aroma of slightly stale filter coffee and St Clements. The taste works so well: a sweet coffee overlain with tart lemon. Sweet for the most part but sour around the corners. Light body with medium carbonation. Oh wait, here's more lemon... it wasn't done! This is so much fun.

Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Light orange and crazy thick with almost no head. Aroma gives a truckload of mango and a little vanilla. Taste has a strong and unexpected taste of white pepper, but it works. Lots more of the mango here, it is not too sour but still has that tinge of tartness. Thick, thick, thick body with almost no discernible carbonation. Hmmmm. Not my favourite Vault City Beer - I am not 100% sure what they're going for here - but I'm enjoying it on its own merit.

440ml can at home on 22nd February 2026. Misty red body, off white topping. Strawberry nose and initial taste, some strange chocolate flavours creep in. All a bit too weird for me.
