Can picked up at JK Fine Foods, Aberdeen. It pours jet black with a decent off - white head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred, coffee grounds, dark chocolate, nutty and praline. The taste is smooth upfront, bitter - sweet, plenty of dark roasted malt, charred wood, umami, burnt toast, cacao nibs, coffee, chocolate covered coffee beans and a touch of peppery spice with a dairy roasted and drying finish. Average body, and fine, massaging carbonation. Decent in a cab, but would like to try the draught nitro version for sure.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - mat black with a big beige coloured, foamy head. Nose - caramel, ginger, general sweet wood spice and some dark chocolate lurking. Taste - sweet spice, biscuit, spiced biscuits and molasses. Palate - medium bodied, roasty sweet and dry middle and finish. Overall - interesting, the ginger works ok, as it isn't too overpowering with this single, usually overpowering ingredient.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - algae green and lightly hazy. Thin white head. Nose - greengage and confected fizzy sweets. Taste - more fizzy sweets, confected and I guess some plums. Palate - light to medium bodied, tangy sweet and sour, fizzy sweets. Overall - they've probably achieved the intention here.
