On tap at Vultures Lane. Pours translucent black. Aroma is all sweet chocolate milk, and the flavour lets that down a little. A bit buttery, a little fruity, and the chocolate is somewhat lost. Still a very nice beer.

330ml bottle. Pours clear dark brown with a one-two finger creamy tan head. Aroma: cocoa, milk chocolate. Taste: cocoa, milk chocolate, hint of coffee, sweet. Creamy texture, medium body, soft carbonation. I do love a good chocolate porter but felt this would could have done with a fuller body, more depth, but it was very nice and very drinkable.

(bottle) Dark brown colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Distinctive aroma of milk chocolate, cacao powder, butterscotch and notes of dark berries, accompanied by delicately roasted malt. Moderately sweet and mildly roasty bitter flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Mildly roasted malty base with loads of chocolate flavours, cacao, toffee and slightly fruity accents of dark and red berries, also hints of vanilla; bitter-sweet, mildly roasted malty finish with notes of chocolate, fruity accents and vanilla in the aftertaste. An easy-going and pleasant brew. 07.XI.16

500ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Sweet-ish, slightly artificial, milk chocolate and cocoa powder aroma, hints of vanilla, hundreds and thousands, a touch of white coffee. Taste is quite similar but doesn’t find an adequate equivalent in a creamy texture; comes along rather thin and somehow metallic-repellent instead. Far from being as horrible as ’High Water Campfire Stout’, but I’m still not into this kind of flavour.

Tap at Highbury. Big cocoa, hot chocolate forward nose that just never quits. Milk chocolate on the palate and easy drinking. A touch of toffee in there it seems. Light roastiness which really allows the chocolate milk-like character to shine. Really enjoyable, but maybe a bit too sweet for some.
