Can. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Super dark, chestnut brown. Slim, tan head. Nose has burnt toffee. Coconut cream. Chocolate milkshake syrup. Vanilla. Creme brรปlรฉe. Desiccated coconut. Taste is burnt toffee sweet. Full on, cocoa and rich malt bitterness. Smooth and rich mouthfeel that completely belies the ABV. Low carbonation. Burnt bitterness to finish, with the coconut sweetness staying throughout. Oof.

Very special. All described flavours are there. Sweet and bitter roast, some hops. Lots of chocolate, bunch of lactose, strawberry. Awesome label. Fun stuff, and a delicious dessert.

440ml can from Honest Brew. BBE 25.03.19. Pours pitch black with a smooth brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, chocolate, vanilla ice cream, cocoa, hints of hops, strawberries and milky creamy notes. Taste is smooth, slightly sweetish and creamy with some roastiness, tropical fruits, herbal hops, pine, chocolate, coffee, cocoa, vanilla ice cream, hints of strawberries and milkshake notes. Finish is smooth, hoppy and slightly roasty with some vanilla milkshake notes, strawberries, chocolate, coffee and cocoa. Super smooth and quaffable for a 11% beer. Quite bizarre and complex, pretty over the top in Omnipollo way, but somehow I still like this one.

On cask at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - golden and hazy. Generous fluffy head. Nose - white grapes, oranges. A general fruit salad thing going on. Taste - more fruit salad, going towards tropical too. Palate - light bodied and creamy. Dry balanced finish. Overall - good.

Can. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Ridiculous price tag, but I was intrigued. Nearly black. Ring of sticky, tan head. Nose has Neapolitan ice cream. Tinned strawberry. Scorched grapefruit. Melted chocolate. Some vanilla custard. Definitely delivers on the aroma. Taste is sweet and chocolatey, with a punchy, grapefruit bitterness. Mouthfeel is rich, slick, and silky. Low carbonation. Absolutely no way this feels 11%. This has to be the easiest drinking beer at this kind of ABV, Iโve ever had. Long lasting, bittersweet finish. That a brand new brewery even contemplates a beer like this, is interesting. The fact they can pull it off makes me keen to try more. Bonkers, but good.
