I found two bottles of this made in the summer of 2016 that had got hidden. Rather gassy but excellent chocolatey flavour.

I do the same. This kit is excellentI'm still fairly new to homebrewing and have tried maybe 8 different kits in total. Of all of them, this is the one I keep coming back to. My latest batch has only been bottled for 6 days and I couldn't resist but have a couple last night, and to me it's perfectly drinkable even after just 6 days. Hopefully I can hold out for a while to let it mature properly!
I find it well balanced with some hoppy bitterness balanced by treacle and liquorish sweetness. I would wholeheartedly recommend it - despite being a novice I've not managed to wreck a single batch yet, and I must have done 5 batches by now.
I brew it slightly short and add a little extra sugar to bump up the ABV.
