Bottle. Nose is chocolate, marshmallow, a little bubblegum. Taste is very sweet, marsmallow, chocolate, milk chocolate, wafer, vanilla, leading to roast malt finish which stops it being cloying.
I've had a couple of similar beers this year which have been among the worst stouts I've ever drunk, so my expectations were low. However this is really quite nice. It's sweet without being cloying, and has some complexity of taste rather than just a load of artificial flavouring.
