Decadence

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown with a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass in thick rings. The body is opaque and viscous, with minimal light penetration revealing only dark mahogany at the edges. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting fine lacing that adheres throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted coffee and dark chocolate, layered beneath notes of toffee and subtle treacle. Muscovado sugar and molasses contribute a caramelised sweetness without cloying. Vic Secret hop adds a delicate herbal and citrus undertone that prevents the profile from becoming purely confectionery.

◐ Taste

Entry is rich and full, with dark chocolate and roasted malt establishing a solid foundation. Mid-palate develops layers of toffee, molasses, and muscovado that build sweetness before a warming bitterness emerges. The 65 IBU bitterness is restrained but assertive, with a drying quality that balances the residual sweetness without harshness.

◑ Finish

The treacle finish lingers with a gentle warming sensation that extends the drinking experience. Residual cocoa and subtle coffee notes fade slowly into a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste.
