440ml can. Pitch black color. Sweet, creamy, sugary, roast, alcohol hidden in aroma/taste.
A lot of beer claim to have "chocolate" taste and/or aroma, few live up to the expectations. This one succeeds.
Dåse: Brunsort øl med fint skumhoved. Duft af let solbær og meget diskret vanilje. Smagen er igen ovre i bær, meget sød men også en del chokolade. Saving grace til sødmen er en meget bitter finish. Igen nærmest bær. Sjovt da det ikke optræder på labelen.
(Can) Pours black with tiny tan head. Chocolate and marshmallow aroma. Full bodied and smooth with fine gentle carbonation. Amazing flavour- chocolate, marshmallow, cream, with some tangy berry notes. Burnt sugar bitter hints appear in the finish. Very nice.
33cl blik. Zwart bier met licht bruin schuim. Geur: vanille, chocolade, praliné, wat zoethout. Smaak: zoet, chocolade, vanille, toffee, zoethout, lactose. Volmondig. Medium koolzuurprikkel.
Liquide marron avec mousse abondante, compacte et marron. Nez chocolat et marshmallow. En bouche, c'est une attaque maltée, chocolatée et vanille laissant apparaître dans un deuxième temps le marshmallow et une légère amertume café, très sympa !
Ароматизированный стаут во вкусе которого должен быть Зефир и Шоколад. В принципе шоколад почти всегда присутствует в Стаутах, но впрочем тест. Пиво черного цвета, если смотреть на солнце оно красно черное с небольшой средней пузырчатой пеной. Пена быстро упала, но тонкий ее край оставался по краю бокала. В аромате кофе, жженый солод, шоколад и тонкий аромат жженой карамели. Карамель начала прослеживаться по мере согревания пива. Вкус горьковаты, традиционно Стаутовый. Вкус повторяет аромат и раскрывается больше в конце. Шоколад сменяет карамель, карамель уходит на второй план и ее заменяет жженый солод. Пиво немного сладкое, не совсем обычное для стаута. Но это очень хороший и добротный стаут!

Can. A pretty much opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. A pleasant chocolate cake vibe goes well with a mildly candy raspberry. Touch of icing sugar. Crispy finish. If any number of brewers had shat this out I would be vaguely sympathetic, that the once mighty Brewdog have churned this out in cannable quantities is a sad indictment on how far this always brash, oft justifiably so, brewery has fallen..
440 ml can. Pours very dark brown with beige head. Aromas of dark chocolate and artifical sweetener (vanilla, marshmallows) takes over. Taste sweet malts, chocolate and vanilla, marshmallows in aftertaste.
[44cl can from M&S Camberley.] A glossy peaty brown pour with a tight beige head; aroma of vanilla fudge and marshmallow; sharply bitter to start with bitterly roasted grains, then sickly sweet with marshmallow and chocolate syrup. A strange concoction.
czarne, ciemna piana w zapachu mleczna czekolada. w smaku bez goryczki za słodkie.

Arteficial sweet aroma, marshmallow, chocolate. Opaque dark brown body; creamy tany head. Sweet and sweet, cheap chocolate. Sorry, this not! 0,44 l, can, supermarket, Lincoln (Lincolnshire, England).
Dark, dark brown with a beige head. Cotton candy and chocolate aroma that trends artificial. Taste is cloying sweet, a mix of Dr Pepper, Tootsie Roll and artificial fruit syrups. Body to the full side of medium, mildish carbonation after an initial fizz. Kind of a mess.
Can. Black + tan head. Big sweet dark malty, big tiramisu ice cream, diabetes, melted marshmallow, milk chocolate ice cream, light artificial, light roast, mocha, chocolate syrup

0.44 l can. Black body with beige head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow. Slightly moderate bitter end.
440ml can, drank at home on 18th March 2022. Oily black body, decent beige head. Sweet overall, marshmallow's I suppose, chocolatey base, should have had a cake with it.
Canned. A black beer with a small beige head. Aroma and flavour of malt, caramel,chocolate, brownies, marshmallow and with a mild bitter finish.
Creamy lightbrown good mostly lasting head. Black colour. Heavy malty and moderate nhoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.
Can at home, black beer, small to no head. Aroma is chocolate, malt, sweet, marshmallow, sugar, candy. Taste is the same, sweet, sugar, candy, chocolate, malt, bitter, long sweet candy like aftertaste, ok
Not liking marhmallows in general did not really help. Dark pour with small white head. Aromas of dark chocolate at first, but then marshmallow/artifical sweetener takes over. Marshmallow/sickly sweet taste hits you first/overly sweet without any nuances, malty/dark chocolate notes after the third/fourth sip - it gets better (or rather less bad)
Can. Black with a brown head. Black forest cake aroma with cherries, vanilla in the nose, sweet, rich chocolate cake with vanilla and almond in the mouth. Full body, smooth, almondy aftertaste.
Can. Black featuring a lovely beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, perfume and marshmallows. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, milk, vanilla and overpowering artificial marshmallows. The sweetness is thankfully counterbalanced by a rather impressive bitterness. Medium carbonation. Pretty distinctive alcoholic warmth. It’s a Pastry Stout so I shouldn’t complain too much but the artificiality of it all is just too much for me.
440ml can bought from Asda and drunk at home. Very dark brown with lots of translucency when held up to thenlight and a ring of beige head. Boozy medicinal smell with notes of vanilla extract and coconut. Tastes very sweet and very boozy with more coconut and red grape. Long sweet finish with a bit of chocolate alongside rhe other flavours. Decent but not their 'A' game.
Aroma is chocolate, vanilla and popcorn. Bit of espresso coming through. Taste is sweet marshmallow and caramel. This is followed by dark chocolate and cherry flavours with some malt and cereal. Definitely a desert beer but not a bad one.
The scent of raspberries, sweets and marshmallows. A black, impenetrable beer with a fine-grained, persistent foam. In the taste of candy, chocolate. Dry aftertaste. Medium body, low carbonation.
Pours to a deep ruby red dark brown. Dark tan slowly dissipating head. Pure sweet marshmallow on the nose. Dominant flavour is marshmallow too, floating in an intensely sweet chocolate. Nice lingering dark chocolate and coffee taste. Interesting but not very complex. A bit too novelty to drink regularly.
440ml can on xmas eve. Pours black as tar with a medium to thin tan head. The smell is of marshmallow and bubblegum, no hops there. The mouthfeel is quite oily and the taste is candy cane, caramel and cocoa. The reasonably high alcohol level is masked by the overall sweetness and the carbonation level is low. Overall, this is quite unique and is worth a try, I would recommend enjoying it with a rich dessert. However, the flavour gets a bit sickly after the first few gulps making it heavy going. It would benefit from being slightly more bitter to level out the taste profile but still a decent brew.
440ml can from Asda, part of their 4 for 3 offer. Pours almost black with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma is sweet and so is the taste, with plenty of marshmallow and chocolate as advertised. I was worried that the sweetness was going to be too much, but actually it is offset well by the roasted malts and silky mouth feel. It feels like a guilty pleasure, much as it should do.
Przyjemne, zaskakujace na swoj sposob
