3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cocoa and chocolate aroma, coffee notes. Disappointing head. Dark amber color, almost black. Amazing coffee ice-cream taste, really hits you at the beginning. However, itís a bit superficial. There is not much on the palate, the finish is quick and the beer doesnít last.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Sainsburys, Kidlington, Sunday 20th October 2013 consumed the same day. Pours brown with large foamy tan head. In the mouth this is chocolate and milky coffee, mmhh.. a touch artificial and not exactly subtle. Its easy drinking, sweet with some bitter cocoa, but all told it is a bit OTT, still it was reduced to £1.39 a bottle so Iím not complaining. Fine. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle: The label makes a big play of the nose... Smells of of oak, a touch of coffee and cheap milk chocolate. There is some smoke in the mid range. Taste is... cheap milk chocolate, which seems to be the fashion for British chocolate beer who seem to think Nannyís Easter egg is the height of coco tastes. There is some latte underneath.
Mouthfeel is much to thin for the style. Must try harder, and unfortunately the Americanís do this type of beer a million times better.
Edit: Read the bottle, the idiots have added flavour rather than used the malt and hops. No wonder itís rubbish. Lose another point for trying to take shortcuts.
