Can split with Kenneth and Fergus at Craft Beer Junction, Enid Street, 18/12/24. Black with a light tan head that thins to a tick shaped swirl. Nose is chocolate, hazelnut, hint of marzipan, coconut shavings. Taste comprises marshmallow, trace of mint, chocolate melt, vanilla, panna cotta, brown sugar melt. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow boost offered. Fun pastry affair.

Keg at Craft Beer junction, Bermondsey, 24/12/24. Fruit smoothie orange pour with no head. Nose is fuck off marzipan, amaretto, sweet sugary mix. Taste comprises much the same, all very 1D with sugary marzipan and almonds tempered with a little citric zest. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a very modest pucker. So so affair ... overly sweet and would struggle to take down much of this.

Can at CBJ. Opaque dark brown beer, small dark tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Rich dark chocolate malts, a slight tang and a slight perfume feel. Modest nutty vibe and then back to more floral rich chocolate. Liked this but it got a little chewy to be great.
Liked this more than expected! Brandy comes out nicely on the nose a bit and finish. Grape juice notes with notes of peanut butter on the mid. Light bodied fun. Thanks FlandersNed !

Rated at Ryyppyliiteri. Mmm dat chunkiness. Sweet jammy blueberry juice with some sugar and syrupy barrel coconut overdose.
