I can't recall any neighbour ever calling to borrow food. Sugars are aplenty in this one as it's a dense textured, sweet stout, with its roasted notes best and stated in aroma, and develop in aftertaste. It's heavy going though, especially with its sticky-sweetness, which isn't the most palate-friendly you'll ever find. Reaching marshmallow levels of taste some will enjoy this one for sure.

Can. I was very amused to discover this is the second beer with this moniker. Deeper cuts from the outKast discography next time folk.
Nose is coffee, lots of caramel, brown sugar, fudge. Taste is sweet, caramel, wafer, fudge, leading to a hint of smoke alongside filter coffee which just about stops it being sickly, and there's quite a bit of coffee in the finish.
It's ultimately too sweet, and the coffee doesn't cut through enough; it is a bit cloying. Though better balanced than a lot in this style currently.
