440ml can at Tønne, Leicester. Mid-brown and pretty translucent with a small uneven swirl of beige head. Sweet creamy vanilla on the nose. Less of the coffee here. I'm also getting light notes of caramel. Taste is sweet, more vanilla here. Tempered by the dark malts. Light body with heavier carbonation. Quite good but I think I want more from it.

440ml can as a gift, most likely from Houae of Trembling Madness in York. Drunk at home. Very dark almost purplish brown with a tint ring of tan head. Cinnamon and maybe a bit of clove in the aroma, vanilla, raisins, chocolate. Taste is sweet, more puddingy fruit to the fore, with a decent bitterness in the vinous finish. Weighty body with almost no carbonation. It's quite nice but a bit much of a muchness. Enjoyed it but wouldn't fight someone over the last can on the shelf.
