Can thanks to my bro. It pours darkest brown to black with a small tan head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred vibes, espresso coffee, chocolate, chocolate covered coffee beans, touch of vanilla, cookie dough, caramel and gooey brownie. The taste is dry roasted malt, charred, umami, good hit of rich roasted coffee, espresso, chocolate, vanilla, creme caramel, toasted coconut, dried fruits, warming alcohol and light tannin with a drying, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not too sweet thankfully. Works well.

Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Works rather well. Bright and quaffable.

750ml bottle won from BillyT. It pours like motor oil... darkest brown to black with a small tan head. The aroma is unctuous, rich, oily, super dark roasted malt, molasses, treacle, malt loaf, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, Eccles cake, black bun, big bourbon character, huge vanilla, toffee, toasted coconut, bounty bar and toasted brown sugars. The taste is slick, oily, chewy, heavy, toothy, slick, dark roasted malt, burnt toast, coffee grounds, tar, molasses, treacle, boozey warmth, toffee, bourbon soaked oak, umami, liquorice allsorts, warming booze, dark chocolate, touch of tannin, leather, vanilla and toasted coconut with a drying, chewy and more savoury finale. Full+ body, fine prickly carbonation and motor oil mouth feel. Absolutely ludicrous stuff. Huge, decadent and unctuous. Not sure I could take down a bottle myself, but this is a very enjoyable festive tipple.

Can from BrewDog. It pours clear pale yellow with a decent white cap. The aroma is fresh, zingy, fragrant, mint hits you upfront, fresh mint tea, lime peel, lemon balm, floral and some soft sweetness. The taste is crisp, dry, clean, pithy, zesty, tangy, lemon - lime, dull pucker, juicy, bright, herbal tea infusion, chamomile and smooth mint (this is way more subdued than on the nose). Finish is clean and dry. Light body and fine, spritzy carbonation. As an alcohol free I like it. Given the can and branding, wasn't sure I was going to. Clean, bright and very drinkable.
