[33cl can from Beer52.] An almost black pour with a think mocha coloured head; coffee aroma; rich toasted malts in the mouth with a touch of chocolate syrup; then a drier finish with a light bitterness and some coffee notes.

Black, with a dark brown head. The aroma and initial flavor are coffee and chocolate, with hints of dark fruit and a sour note, followed by a roasted note. Pleasant and drinkable. The only downside is the alcohol content and body; it could be a better

330ml can from Beer52 (brewed and canned in the EU). Poured into my Gordons thistle shaped glass at home in the early hours of 6th July 2025. Almost black bodied, a very dark brown, tanned foam on top. Coffee and chocolate aroma and initial taste, some dark fruits and a herbal twist arrive before the roasted/toasted malts take over again with the coffee and chocolate flavours. Pity about the ABV and it's body depth, could have been a proper rich Stout if they hadn't watered it down.

339ml can. Near black pour with beige to tanned head, modest retention. Aroma of roasted malt, treacle, liquorice, blackcurrant - interesting. Taste is quite herbal and roasted with a drying mouthfeel. There is also some mild chocolate and blackcurrant. Slightly light in body but overall its a good stout..

330ml can. Hazed gold with consistent swirly white head. Aroma of wheat, floral bouquet and light citrus rind hints. Taste of lemon and lime sherbet dips, Weetabix, pepper, light grass and botanicals. Medium bodied, zingy carbonation. A good example of the style.
