440ml can. Pours a deep amber, clear with a tiny off white head. Aroma is ginger beer. Beer is light, slightly sweet & with a mild ginger taste, despite the ingredients saying just barely, hops, yeast & water are in the can. Maybe it is an artificial flavour they don't have to declare?
The IPA is really mild, the "ginger biscuit" also. It tastes like someone tipped some ginger ale in your ale. I'd rather drink ginger beer or a good IPA.

330ml bottle. Pours black like old engine oil & has about as much head. Aroma is huge but mostly sweet cake like notes. Beer is thick & syrupy, sweet & with more of the cake flavour. The nuts are there but little of the barrel woody character.
In the end this is too sweet & with too much cake flavour (the bottle says nothing in English) to be a good stout in my book. Interesting.

440ml can. Pours a dark clear brown with a small off white head. Aroma is mild dark malts. Beer is off dry, smooth & pretty light for a Porter. Essentially fine, but not memorable in any way.

440ml can. Pours dark brown and quite thin for a 10% ABV stout, small tan head. Aroma is sweet diary milk type chocolate. Beer is sweet with a strong chocolate flavour but rather short of dark malty stout flavours. Body is medium but with a syrupy taxture from all the sugar and lactose I presume.
Duncan has done better chocolate stouts unless you like them very sweet with lots of chocolate & not much stout.
