Change of Weather

Brewery: Devil's Peak Brewing Company
Supplier: Beer52

The last from this box of South African beers and the last from this Cape Town-based brewery. Again, this has not got anything on it as it is not on their year-round or speciality list. This is their chocolate stout, and it's more like an imperial. I served this chilled.
Appearance: Like the previous one, this is pitch black even when held to the light. The head a lightly rusty brown, starting off reasonabbly thick but thinning quickly to just a lace around the glass.
Aroma: Dark notes and fresh red berries like cranberry and raspberry. 
Flavour: More milky than chocolate, with some fudge and toast notes. 
Body: Really smooth and thick, very creamy. 
Aftertaste: Mainly just a continuation of the general flavours. A lingering sweetness is also there.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, nice with some decent creamy sweet notes, good dessert beer.

Price Range: The last from the South African beers, so £2.90 for a 340ml bottle; another one that's a good price and I would buy as a dessert beer.

Food Pairings: A dessert but not too sweet as it would mask the sweetness of the beer, something like a tart gooseberry pudding.
