4 oz. pour from a bottle at EBF, Boston. Saturday Night session. The vanilla is bold in aroma and flavor. In flavor is comes off on the border of being too sweet. The coffee element was great but the vanilla just overwhelms.

Bottle pour @Lord Hobo, Cambridge, MA. Sweetish, complex and roasty with loads of coffee, chocolate, hazelnuts, vanilla, cocoa, toffee, syrup, mudcake, mocha and espresso. Awesome, super well balanced and tasty pastry stout. Reminds me of Omnipollo Noa.

Bottle shared at KJUBZT November ‘18. Black with a ring brown head. Aroma of that Quality Street or Rose chocolate (I forget which) with the oozing caramel and a nut in the middle. Beautiful. Flavour is heavy sweet. Fully bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle at kermis’ birthday. Black with dark brown head. Lots of hazelnuts, caramel, milk chocolate, 🍫, roast, toffee, light earthy and raw cocoa. Quite sweet and just medium bitter. Full bodied with creamy feel. Quite nice but a bit too much semi-artificial nut aroma.
