Supplier: Beers of Europe
This is one of their year-round brews made with 4 different roasted malts and matured with chocolate. I served this at room temperature.
This is one of their year-round brews made with 4 different roasted malts and matured with chocolate. I served this at room temperature.
Appearance: Black with a slight ruby tinge, an off-white head that dissipates very quickly.
Aroma: Doesn't smell great, a sort of acidic curry mixed with chocolate, slightly like vomit.
Flavour: An off chocolate taste at the beginning followed by some burnt toast notes.
Body: Way too fizzy, and sharp on the way down.
Aftertaste: More of that bad chocolate taste, but it gets more palatable with drinking. But it does leave a little bit of a warm, slightly rotten, fruit taste.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 1, not nice and not very drinkable as I tipped out the last half, a sharp contrast to their Coffee Porter that was very good.
Price Range: £2.19 for a 330ml bottle, just no.
Food Pairings: A steak pie as some of the notes would go with the pastry and the strong steak taste would compensate for the bad taste of the beer.
