440ml can from Tesco (£3.50):
Pouring a thick mahogany to black with an opaque body & a foamy, caramel brown head that fades to a thin lacing around the edges soon after. Initially the nose is a mix of chocolate malts, roasted notes & brown sugars with some coffee bitterness too. It's sweet & rich with dart malts & batley coming through while the taste is similarly sweet with a lot of rich chocolate, sweet malts & sugars that definitely have a cake feel about them. The beer is strong & full-bodied with a decent kick at the end.

Picked up from Tescos. Pour was a perfect dark with one finger tan head, but the smell was of a supermarket budget tiramisu, erstaz marsala and all. The taste was all chocolate and caramel. It was too sweet for me, and I tend towards that end of a adjunct stout.

Picked this beer up as it was there for a very reasonable price vs what I'm used to for similarly strong stouts.
quite syrupy versus other imperial stouts I've had and not quite as well carbonated, went really well with my cheddar but I wish it would have been more of a coffee stout from it's description of being a "Tiramisu Pastry Stout" but instead it, as I should have expected from the ingredients list, was more on the chocolate end (as that's what it contained). Overall pretty good but I wish they had used Coffee and Cocoa in it rather than chocolate.

Dark brown with creamy looking head. Smell is sweet, vanilla and pastry like. Flavours are vanilla, coffee, steed fruits, slight burntness and hint of liquorice. Slightly sweet and has a nice creamy mouth feel. Lovely beer
