Nutcracker composer Tchaikovsky never had any children. Almost black with a creamy off-white head. Plentiful chocolate, well stated in taste, evident in aroma too. It's on the rich side. I was told they were going for a Ferrero Rochet taste in this one, and the beer ambassador that served me this one was certainly spoiling me.

Can I think from Sainsbury's. Good pour and an amazing and huge hoppy nose. Loads going on on the palate and a slight but not unpleasant farmyard taste. All very good.

Can on 1st November 2025 from Hops d’Amour, Coventry. Rated as a novelty ale. Pours inky sepia brown with tan foam and partial lacing. Strong banana aroma. Nutty peanut butter and roastiness in-mouth before a finish of dark chocolate-encased fruits. Smooth mouthfeel and a fair amount of body. Very pleasant and agreeable.

Deep dark brown, near black, with a creamy light tan head and a big chocolate and caramel aroma. Relatively light bodied, sweet chocolate malt with hints of ginger, some mellow coffee bitterness and a very dry finish.
