Can from Beers of Europe. Appearance - opaque black with an attractive fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate, loads of lactose going on. Chocolate sauce. Taste - definitely chocolate sauce. Underlay of chocolate digestive. Palate - creamy textured, medium bodied. Quite sweet on the finish. Overall - fairly typical for the style. It's a style that gets a bit cloying and possibly suits a higher alcohol level.

Can from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden,slight haze, generous fluffy head. Nose - candied orange, light pine and citrus pith. Taste - overripe guava, plums. Quince. Earthy too. Grainy underneath. Palate - creamy if light body. Finish could be fresher. Overall - expected the palate to be fresher given the style.

Can from Beers of Europe. Appearance - yellow with a very slight haze. Big fluffy head. Nose - pine, grapefruit and lemon. Wholemeal and white pepper underneath. Taste - more citrus and pith too. Again underlying wholemeal thing. Palate - light bodied as expected given the ABV. But not as thin as expected. Overall - not bad given alcohol level.

440ml can: BB 12th Mar 2021, came from Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 26th May 2020, during the virus Lock In. Really enjoyed this. Golden body, thin white head. Malty, nutty and fairly sweet, mild floral notes in there too. Good body feel with a pleasant alcohol warmness in the finish.
