Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Black, small head. Aroma of cocoa and rapsberries. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Rich flavour of raspberries covered in thick layers of dark chocolate. Unusual and tasty with good balance. A beer that truly stands out.

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Dark brown, small head. Vanilla aroma. Sweetish with some chocolate and loads of vanilla. Low bitterness. Overpowering and candyish, almost going in the same terrible direction as Southern Tier Creme Brulee, but thankfully being much less of a kids drink. Still it’s the Bristol beer to avoid.

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Dark brown, small head. Slight cocoa aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Orangey chocolate flavor (no surprise there!), low bitterness. A bit shallow. This worked far better without the orange.
