Keg at the Bottle Shop - Bermondsey, London. Pours black-brown with a creamy, beige head. The nose is all coffee ice cream, milk chocolate, light roast, coffee beans, subtle vanilla. Medium sweet flavour with more creamy coffee ice cream, marshmallows, some roasty bitterness, ash, dark chocolate. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine to average carbonation. Sweet in the finish with light warmth, gooey chocolate, more coffee ice cream, bittersweet baking cocoa. Great stuff.

Bottle. Pours opaque black, medium tan head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is very roasty, heavy coffee and molasses notes. Flavor is light sweet, medium plus bitter, coffee, hints of roast, burned rubber. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Likely should have had this one fresher.
