Bottle at home, thanks Ash! Pours dark brown with a thin white head. Aromas of treacle, spice, dried orange peel, a little boozy. Taste is spicy, more orange and burnt sugar. Not really getting the chocolate milk aspect. Stewed fruit. Dry finish.

Bottle from allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep plum and olive in colour, It has a sheen. Thin but attractive head. Nose - smells Belgian alright. Christmas spices, brown sugar, orange peel. Taste - prunes, light spice, Marzipan on the finish. Palate - rich and full bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture. A tonne of booze too. Overall - it’s very boozy but its richness and complexity means it gets away with that.
