440ml can at the Amber Rooms, Loughborough.it pours pinkish yellow lime rose wine. Clear. A small white head. Mostly pink grapefruit aroma with a light salty character. Light sweet and fruity taste with a bit of salt. Gentle bitterness in the finish. Watery body with somewhat heavy carbonation. It's okay but tastes more like a mixer than an actual drink.

Nails the style. Lovely stewed dark fruits, soft booze, toffee, dates, caramel, raisins, a sniff of oxidation, toasted bread, a suggestion of Belgian yeast. Really smooth and highly drinkable.

Pajiza, velada, espuma blanca de retención media. Aroma y sabor fresco, jugoso y ligero, muy chispeante, con notas herbales, cítricas y afrutadas, ligero dulzor, amargor amable, trago largo y seco, terriblemente refrescante y disfrutable, ideal para refrescar días tórridos.

Keg at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden. Opaque cola brown.. MM thin band of a beige head. Aroma combines dark dough, molasses and dark chocolate with a boozy edge. Sweeter but also sour berries moreso into the finish. Thick. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.

Can from local ASDA store – drank at home. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small frothy beige head. The aroma has lactose, roasted malts, coffee and a hint of nuts. In the mouth it is very briefly sweet before sharp fruitiness comes through. Flavour has roasted malts, oats, coffee grounds and lactose. Some bitter chocolate and caramel comes through later. Finish is somewhat dry. This is nice – but nothing like as awesome as Broken Dream.

Can. Pours cloudy black with a very small and very dark tan head. Clear aroma of malt, oats, and dark chocolate, with notes of dried fruit and touches of yeast. Roasty flavour of tonka beans (are they there in the first place?) and dried fruit, with notes of oats, and touches of yeast and hops. Roasty and oatsy aftertaste with hints of citrus. Warming alcohol presence. Low carbonation, but this does not detract from the palate, as the texture is sufficiently oily to offset it. Yummy.

Can, 12.2%. Tonka bean aroma, vanilla and cocoa. Jet black colour. Dark brown head, small and unstable. Good chocolate flavour. Actually quite close to dark, bitter chocolate. Turns jammy after a bit, has a little acid and some sweet fruit. The finish is dusty cocoa powder. Oily mouthfeel. Has a weak warming alcohol note, but is very mellow.
