330ml can as a gift - Deep brown body with a thick tan head. Sweet chocolate nose, kind of honeyed, some very sweet mocha coffee notes. Really lush boozy drink, loads of fun, and as always very fucking dangerous.

330ml can given as a gift - jet black, short lasting tan head. Big coffee nose, sweet syrupy chocolate hit in the taste, some sweet cherry, not getting the nuts. very milky and sweet in the texture, one of those very dangerous impy pastries that can have you on your back.
