Can shared at Zozo's. Jet black pour, beige head. Nose is intense coconut, molasses, booze, chocolate, pretty damn fine. Tastewise it's rather messy tho, there's some coconut, booze, molasses and chocolate with a spicy-nutty touch that I reckon is the cashew. It's also too dry and boozy.

Can shared at Zozo's. Pours black with a beige head. Nose is big dark chocolate, earthy dark malts and roasted notes with a huge pistachio kick. The pistachio actually gave an intense, very interesting floral/fruity character to the beer, and it mixed outstandingly well with the chocolatey base. Closes with a long lasting, sweet and boozy, chocolatey pistachio finish, has a medium to full, semi-dry body and soft carbonation. Lovely.

Can shared at Zozo's. Black pour, brownish head. Intense boozy coffee and chocolate bomb with touches of vanilla, dried fruits and even hints of coconut perhaps? Closes with a long lasting, warming and sweet finish, has a full and thick oily body and soft carbonation. Great.

Can shared at Zozo's. Jet black pour, beige head. Compared to the basic version the cocoa adds a lot here but also takes some: the pistachio's not as intense, it's there but it's kinda subdued to the base beer and the cocoa. Also this version is much more acidic, which at first feels too much but with time it becomes more balanced. Vanilla, dark chocolate, cocoa and booze are the main characteristics. Not bad at all, but liked the other version more.

Can shared at Zozo's. Black pour with a finger wide beige head. Nose is dark chocolate, cocoa powder, coffee, roasted malts and booze. Taste is sweet booze, chocolate and molasses with some coffee, roasted malts, and hazelnuts. This latter is not as apparent as I'd thought it'd be (or as the name suggests) tho. Closes with a long lasting, warming and sweet, boozy and somewhat dry finish, has a thick, creamy body and soft carbonation.

Can from Beerdome. Aroma is vanilla, roasted malt, some nutty notes, chocolate, caramel, candy, more vanilla. Flavour is quite sweet and sugary with a relatively firm bitterness as well. Full body. Expected (and hoped for!) the nutty aroma to be more striking, considering the name. Not enough nuts!!!!!

Shared courtesy of Grumbo with ITFCDan. Aroma of pineapple, lemon and herbal. Quite a sharp aroma. Taste is lemon zest that is quite bitter. Good.
