A dessert in a glass. This beer is brewed using unfermentable lactose sugar, vanilla beans and plenty of roasted malts to provide a sweet, smooth caramel drinking experience. No blowtorch was used in the making of this beer.

Fra boks (thanks, Cibasso!) på romjulstreff i RBHD des-16: brunsvart med ok skum. Vanilje, mørk sjokolade og lysbrent kaffe. Myk og behagelig, slank og med mild bitterhet i den søtlige ettersmaken. Snev av røde bær virker forfriskende.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Bjørnøy 29.12.16. Ebony. Quickly diminishing pale brown head. Aroma of dark chocolate. Taste of dark chocolate and chocolate sauce. Dry and waterish. Chocolate sauce in aftertaste.

Handpull cask at the Flying Pig Cambridge. Mid- to dark brown, slightly translucent. A decent ring of tan head. Mocha aroma with a surprisingly boozy note. Taste is mostly sweet with an unfortunate acidic streak. Short finish. I usually love Dark Star, but I find this unbalanced: cloying and sharp in alternate measures. Still drinkable though and I’m sure it will find many fans.

330 ml can. Dark brown body with a medium sized beige head. Lovely aroma of milk chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, malt and some vanilla. Flavor is strong with everything from the aroma, it actually tastes a lot like crème brûlée, but not too artificial, it’s actually very nice and you might still find the stout left somewhere in the flavors. Sweet but nice.

Can. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, sweets, sugar, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and sugar, leading to a dry sweet finish.
