Drop the compass in the dust and hit the highway; the direction will take care of itself. Our friends at North Brewing Co headed to Ellon to create this deep, complex milk stout with aromas of warming spice from the Tonka beans, toasted oak and vanilla. Like all roadtrips, this one is also powered by coffee and it leaves a beer as dark and true as the blacktop stretching out ahead.

Lovely stuff, this. Big rich stout with loads of chocolatey malt and vanilla and what I picked out as some sort of spice but I'm guessing is the Tonka bean? It's lovely anyway with a lasting finish.

Bottle picked up at BD Inverurie. It pours opaque black with a small light tan head. The aroma is sweet vanilla, toasted marshmallow, earthy roast, coffee, umami, tonka beans and rocky road. The taste is bitter - sweet, roasted malt, vanilla, tonka beans, umami, toasted marshmallow, roasted malt, chocolate cake, bit of char spice and light spice with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Well rounded and interested. Decent.
