Sweet, roast malts, big coffee and chocolate all star in this beer. Brewed with lactose to smooth the bitterness of darker malts and add a light creaminess to this sessionable dark beer. We use wonderful whole bean Hasbean coffee for this brew.

Cask, half pint at tap takeover, Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico. Jet black body. Shiny surface, dotted spots to the glassware. Vanilla sweet malty nose with hints of lactose. Coffee and modest lactose flavours. Mild, dry, roasted end. Pretty okay stout, not too sweet and not too thin bodied (London 12.08.2013).

Bottle picked up at ’Jacks’, Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon. Consumed at a wonderful house owned by the Blackwell family in Appleton, Oxon, Saturday 31st August 2013 Black in colour with a large sticky frothy head light beige head that sort of collapsed in the middle. Wonderfully creamy and rich beer with milkyness, coffee and a pleasant rich vein of roasty and tasty goodness, really quite lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed this beer. It’s great that Weird Beard can do beers such as this so very well alongside the strong and very hoppy numbers that they also do. A7 A5 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0

Cask @ cask pub and kitchen, small sample. Dark color, short brown head. Aroma of earthy hop, sweet cookie, bit chocolate, biscuit, hint of coffee. Bit sweet taste, cookie. Though not really in a way other milk stouts are sweet, not from lactose sugar it felt. Nice beer.

Aroma: Twiglets, burnt coffee, ash and milk chocolate.
Appearance: Dark brown body with a medium tan head. Excellent lacing.
Taste: Very ashy and bitter. Peppery and biscuity with a hint of milk chocolate. Flavoursome but not particularly appealing or moreish.
Palate: Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation.
Overall: Tastes extremely ashy and peppery - not the most pleasant of flavours but there’s a huge amount of flavour for such a low alcohol beer (this bottle was 3.5% ABV).

50 cl bottle @ home. Batch #0003, bottled 03/2013, BBE 03/2015
Aroma has lots of mocha notes and some jalopeno‐like vegetables. Flavour has mocha coffee, ashy notes and some licorice. Also some lactic notes after some sips. Feels watery, but not bad for a 3,7% beer. And not very ’sweet’.
Cask @ Gallows Bird ⅩⅦ Real Ale Festival
Aroma has coffee, dark chocolate and hints of sourish milk chocolate. Flavour has milk chocolate, coffee and hints of ash in the finish.
