Can from Lupe Pintos. Black body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of minerals and blueberries. Flavour of lemon and dark chocolate. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Well balanced and tasty. I’d like to try a higher ABV version of this.

Can from Lupe Pintos. Black body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of dark chocolate, raisin and maple syrup. Flavour of vanilla, nutty malt and umami. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A solid beer but lacks the depth of my favourite imperial stouts.

Dark chocolate & vanilla aroma. Malt, vanilla, marzipan & chocolate tastes with a fruity finish. A bit thin for the ABV.
