Bottle from Beersofeurope. Pours a pitch black colour with a medium sized creamy beige head. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. Taste is more of the same notes as the aroma. Medium bodied, very smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. A long roasty, ashy and slightly bitter finish. Nice one

Bottle. Roasty, grainy, not too much booze. Easy drinking. Bit burnt, bit smoky. Nice if unspectacular.

50cl Bottle from the brewery, ABV is 4.4%. Black colour, beige head. Aroma of lovely nutty roast, caramel, mocha, dark chocolate, coffee. Flavour is a lot lighter than the aroma suggests, but with the same qualities. Soft and smooth, rich and tasty low ABV milk stout. Good.

Bottle from The Avenue Store. Dark brown body with a thin beige head that holds well. Faint lacing. Aroma of treacle, blackcurrant and wood. Flavour of cherry, treacle, coffee and caramel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. I loved the treacle vibe to this. Big flavour for the ABV.
