Yeasty and fruity esters combine well. Sweet plum. Hint of spicy compote. Taste has a light fruity sweetness with a dry aftertaste. Nice almost smoothie like mouthfeel. Rolling carbonation. Dry finish.

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Very dark brown, almost black, with a ring of beige/khaki head. Light roasted malt, milk chocolate, some caramel. Exquisite sweet taste, creamy chocolate malt, touches of coffee grounds. Almost no bitterness in the finish, this remains a sweet beer all the way down. Traces of cola nut in the aftertaste. Magickal.

Chocolate, coal, coffee grounds in the aroma. Tastes quite sweet with a touch of caramel, maybe some blackberry. Medium body, heavy on the carbonation. Quite something.
