Huge and impressive nose of chocolate and good initial sips. Then it dies down and becomes a bit wishy washy. Noticed the label just refers to chocolate flavour.... Realised half way through this was horribly chemically and tipped away the rest.

Pint of cask in the newly reopened village pub before lunch on Sunday. Good pour and looked brilliant in the glass. Not much nose. A typical easy drinking bitter. Very light malt and bitter hops. You could happily drink this all night. And that is the point. It's a beer for long afternoons or nights in the pub.

Bottle on the train with some Monster Munch. My how my life has spiralled.... Anyway, a really sweet and malty beer with hardly any trace of hops. A bit too sweetly rich for my liking.

Train beer at King's Cross. Long day so had this with a pack of mouth puckering prawn cocktail crisps. Still prefer a Walkers cheese and onion. Anyway, no idea what this looks like as I had it from the can and the score gave the benefit of the doubt. Good taste with a malty thing going on. All in all OK.

Pint in my local pub for the quiz night. Very lively but it was a new barrel. Good colour, smooth mouthfeel but not thr most flavour. All very acceptable but nothing special.

Can at home. OK, this was number 3 of 3 of the evening, but it didn't work for me. Too sweet. Great texture, but the sweetness was too much. I don't do sweet stouts...

Can at home and number 2 of the night. Not a huge amount going on. And really disappointing. Drinkable, but in the words of Tom Gilbey (brilliant on YouTube, you have to watch) it didn't tickle my testicles.

Can at home at the start of the night and it was the best. Rich and well balanced hops with loads going on for thr abv. It disappeared way too quickly.

Can at home. Great pour and a very well balanced beer. Hops are there but don't burn the mouth and a certain wineyness to the whole package. Very good.

Can at home and a beer that is so hip I'm surprised it can see over it's own pelvis. To quote Zaphod Beeblebrox. Good pour and an assault of hops on the nose. And on the tongue! They took off the inside of my mouth and this was too much. Not enjoyed at all.
