GBBF. Cask. Light soft palate, very slightly dry. Soft chocolate - not dark and not sweet. Strong orange flavour, blends in pretty well. A bit of a Cadburys Chocolate Orange without the sweetness. Crisp finish.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
[Cask at Chippenham Beer Festival] Black with a loose beige head. Aroma of - yes, definitely Terry’s Chocolate Orange (the milk chocolate one). Dry and very thin in the mouth with orange, vanilla, some green leaves, and an unfortunate blast of bleach with roast malt arriving late in the day. A beer to buy for friends for comedy’s sake, but not one I would want to drink again - too thin and too much bleach. c10

On cask at the 2012 NWAF, Manchester. Pours a black colour with a decent light tan head. Huge orange oil character without being soapy. Chocolate, Cointreau and caramel characters. Moderate carbonation and quite dry with an oily mouth-feel. Not bad.

Cask - The Fat Cat, Norwich. Fine & loose bubbly light tan head; black/opaque brown body. Chocolate & roasted malt aromas with a touch of orange. Nice & bitter dark chocolate with a restrained, sweet orange tone that becomes more prominent on the end palate. Like a beer representation of Terrys.
