440ml can. Black, opaque, small head, huge chocolate nose, little bit of peanut. Sweet & chocolatey but so sweet probably best shared with a friend in winter. I had it on a hot day & it's just too much.

440ml can. Pours dark brown and quite thin for a 10% ABV stout, small tan head. Aroma is sweet diary milk type chocolate. Beer is sweet with a strong chocolate flavour but rather short of dark malty stout flavours. Body is medium but with a syrupy taxture from all the sugar and lactose I presume.
Duncan has done better chocolate stouts unless you like them very sweet with lots of chocolate & not much stout.

Pours a hazy gold like a hazy IPA. Aroma is very mild coconut. Beer is obviously a sour, mildly sweet with the fruit being the main flavour over the sour base & the coconut & custard giving it a smoothness like in any coconut drink.
One of Duncan's better weird smoothie style beers it is pretty much what it says on the can. If you like this style you will like this.

From a 440ml can on 24/5/2025. Pours an opaque deep golden with a smallish head. The nose is bright and distinct blood orange. Tastes of blood orange and lemon, with a nice zesty bitterness at the back. Fullish body with moderate to average carbonation. Simple, but really well done.
