I can honestly say there is not a worse beer to start a session on. It's very heavy and has a very distinct in your face aromatic chocolate flavour. Just does not work on any level, utterly disgusting. I am fairly sure if I put Nesquik into a pint of Guiness it would have tasted vastly superior. It sat very heavy in the stomach and was a real effort to finish, totally killed any momentum we had starting our session!

I was really knocked out by it, the chocolately flavour I thought was fantastic and took it outside the realms of the bog standard stouts and porters one normally gets, I have just recommended to friends today and I will continue to do so. A real winner in my book! I am very much a lover of pale hoppy beers with lots of citrus notes etc so I was pleasently suprised when I tried Velvet Curtain the other night.

I couldnt drink anymore of it though as it was quite rich and full of sugar but I can see it as a great end of night finisher. I’m off to Spoons now and I hope its still on I tried this for the first time at weatherspoons beer festival as well.. the first taste shocked me as I wasnt expecting the rich taste… after a few more sips and passing it around to my mates the initial punch in the face turned to a pleasnt experience from the dark chocolate taste to the subtle hints of vanila….
