From a 440ml can on 4/8/2026. Pours a very deep brown with a medium head that dissipates quickly. The nose features some light roasty, chocolate and fridge like notes. On the sip, roasted malt and and dark chocolate dominate, and it's definitely less dessertish than the name suggests. Finishes with a lingering roasty bitterness. Has a hint of creaminess on the palate and softish carbonation. Pleasant enough, if pretty straight forward.

Can. Just cloudy amber with a cm of white head. Thinnish aroma of kumquat, weeds, light biscuit. A little punchier upon a swig with tropical notes, pomelo & some caramel joining before a clean bitter finish. A little on the hollow side but q good.

Can. Deep gold with a white head that fades in time. 6+ Bready and peppery aroma. Quite round clean malt, modest spicy bitterness. Sound if not thrilling.

Can. Misted pale amber with a white head that's soon less than a coat. Vibrant Kiwi under-ripe tropical fruit aroma with some weeds and pine, light breadcrust. Light bodied, maybe not quite enough for the hops to sit on. Tropical fruit are a bit subdued and resin comes roaring through towards the fair bitter end.

Beautiful aromas of cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla, with some really late toffee coming in. The rum is quite prominent in the mouth, with chocolate and some citrus as well. I would have liked a bit more of a creamy body, but that's nit picking. Beautiful beer.

Can. Amber with a loose off white head. Biscuity aroma with some berries and citrus. Moderately sweet with berries, hints of stewed fruit, citrus, some pine, moderate bitterness. A fairly hoppy amber ale, but it's not the end of the world.

Can. Pale amber, fluffy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, crackers, some mandarin, honeydew melon, peach. So it tastes. Perhaps a little more body than it wants. Medium bitterness creeps up after a while.

(Can) Pours lack with huge tan head. Pleasant aroma of roast grain with a hint of pine. Medium body, well carbonated. Great taste. There’s plenty of roast malt and plenty of hops. The former features strongly at the start and the latter at the finish. There is a distinct style shift in the mid palate. Unusual and very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours black with a big tan head - a great looking beer. Pleasant aroma of chocolate and roast grains with notes of vanilla and hints of something boozy. Full bodied, soft MF smooth with plenty of soft carbonation. Great taste too. There’s a base of dark roast malt with a black coffee bitterness to it. This is balanced with some soft and slightly sweet chocolate and toffee tastes. There’s vanilla, some spice and some nice aromatic notes I cannot name. Very good.
