UPDATED: NOV 10, 2023 Cask at the Bear, Paddington on 10th November 2023, on the house as a birthday gift. Sepia-impenetrably black with deep brown foam. Rich and intense earthy roastiness in aroma. Lush dark chocolate in-mouth with sour cherry notes and earthy roast maltiness. A touch of smoke. A rich dark chocolate finish. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Exquisite.

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2022 4pack from the LCBO, taken in the evening as a sipper, enjoyed it while watching a documentary on Rafael, a good moment.

UPDATED: FEB 23, 2022 Pretty good for a nitro. Well constructed and a good moderate bitterness that aids drinkability.

UPDATED: JAN 17, 2022 Small 330ml can from LCBO. Pours a fairly small frothy tan head, thought it would be bigger and thicker. Some decent sticky dirty lace. Has a deep and dark appearance. Lively carbonation. Aromas of chocolate, mocha, cacao, oats and wheaty notes. Flavours of cacao nibs, dark milk chocolate, lactose, some notes of oats and barley malt. Subtle hints of cherry, making it a bit similar to a dark forest cake. A little bit of yeast but fairly mild. The nitro on the can refers more to the mouthfeel as it feels fuller, creamier and more expansive than a foamier mouthfeel.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2021 Bottle of 33cl, in a Tulip glass; from the fridge. Drinked @home. Old note, for counting purpose only : nice strong chocolate taste.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2020 Bottle (G1217 Best Before 120221) pour from Fort Point Market, Boston. Appearance is opaque inky black with nice viscosity, no sparkle, many light floaties, less-than-finger-width beige head fading to a ring and no lacing. Aroma is baker's chocolate, earthy roasted malts, wood. Taste is chocolate, lactose, wood. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice feel; taste and aroma follow each other and are pleasant enough but neither decadent nor terribly complex for the style.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2020 Aroma is nutty chocolate cake, dark fruit and roasted malts. The flavor is dark fr, chocolate, roasted malts and a slightly bitter/acidic finish.

UPDATED: APR 9, 2020 Burk i soffan! Doft av choklad naturligtvis men också lite ek o bourbon. Smaken lätt för att vara 9,4%. Mycket mörk choklad o lite ek från faten. Lång eftersmak men något för mycket choklad för att det ska vara njutbart

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2020 Bottle. Chocolate, roast, raisins, pumpernikel, citrus oil, incense. Sweet with a dry finish. High drinkability. Excellent.

UPDATED: SEP 29, 2019 Niewiele tego kakao, tak samo niewiele jest ciała. Za to fajnie gra tutaj ten cyprysik. Ogólnie dość lekkie, odrobinę kwiatowe, z nutami kawy zbożowej.
