Amundsen – Dessert in a Can [Cherry & Chocolate Ganache] (ABV 10.5%)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Today we are giving in to our sweet tooth and are trying one of the Dessert in a can collection from Amundsen.

  1. Name : Dessert in a Can – Cherry & Chocolate Ganache
  2. Brewery: Amundsen
  3. Aroma : strong initial hit of sweet glacier cherry, with a hint of bitter chocolate
  4. Appearance : Dark in colour with a thick caramel foam head
  5. Body : medium bodied, low carbonation, with poor head retention.
  6. Taste : very sweet cherry bakewell like in taste, with a residual aftertaste of dark rich chocolate, with a brandy like finish.

Colour me slightly disappointed with this one, it was just all a little too much. If they dialed back the sweetness from an 11 to a 8 or 9 it would be far more enjoyable drinking experience for myself.

Unlike other tipples that I have had in a similar vein this one lacked a bite despite its 10.5%, although I admit that the brandy like aftertaste was a pleasent differnece, this fact didnt make up for the overall experience.

This isnt one I would be visiting again, but I am intersted to know if the other tipples on offer within the Amundsen Dessert in a can series are similar or better than this one.

our overall rating: 2.7 / 5.0
