Who is afraid of darkness? Dark beer made with several roasted barley from England and Germany, cocoa nibs, lactose and just a bit of hops. A Milk Chocolate Stout as soft as velvet, that recalls powdered cocoa and barley coffee. Don’t be scared by its colour.

Draught @ Kaisla, Helsinki
Pours pitch black with a thick smooth light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, milk, coffee, mild roastiness and hints of malts. Taste is super smooth with a lot of milk chocolate and coffee notes, hints of roasty malts. Finish is mildly roasty with chocolatey notes. Okay, quite well balanced sweet stout.

Bottle. Pours pitch black, with a full lightly coloured head quickly receding to finger thickness. Aroma is burned malts, chocolate and coffee. Full creamy body, with a quite lively carbonation. Flavour is sweet with dark, burned malts and chocolate, as well as notes of burned sugar, syrup and coffee giving a sweetly burned finish.

330 ml bottle, shared by abemorsten. ABV is 5.2%. Black colour, large beige head. The aroma is woody and roasty, notes of cold coffee and chocolate. Fairly thin and fizzy mouthfeel, The flavour has woody and moderately roasty notes with cocoa, but is not nearly as rich, roasty, "thick" and sweet as I hoped for. Low bitterness.

Bottle. It pours a black body under a finger thick, dense, tan head. The aroma is in the roasted, almost burnt side of the spectrum, with treacle and dark chocolate. Some sourish notes too. It’s medium to full-bodied, and too carbonated to be pleasant. The flavour is quite nice though, slightly sourish with roasted malts, chocolate, some charcoal and dried fruits. A pleasant bitterness chimes in towards the end, blending nicely with the roasted flavour. Ok, so it’s a quite nice beer, but I don’t think the lactic sourness suits it very well, and I wasn’t expecting it either. Maybe that’s the problem, but I don’t think it’s intended. 120828
