Deep dark opaque. Head disappears quickly. No lacing. Slight hint of vanilla. Decent.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Black with tan head. Light roast malt with mild chocolate and vanilla notes. Nothing new, but fine for what it is.

Black colour, light vanilla but it is in line. Decent body. Nice chocolate note. Not reinventing any wheels but not half bad.

Black colour. Mild roast, mild artificial vanilla flavour, a bit of cream (the lactose), it seems almost stale. Some beers that worked were way stronger and bolder, sometimes with a nutty adjunct too. This is poor.
Not offensive, but why still brewing something like this in 2019?

Black color. Aroma of cheap chocolate bar. Dry mouthfeel, light roasty character, a bit watery in the final, maybe nutty; to me it tastes like cheap vanilla chocolate; I don't get why one would drink a dry cup of cold cheap watery chocolate.

Average head on a black body with hints of wateriness. Burnt barley aroma, some sweetness, carbonation bringing up no further complexity. This flavour of vanilla and barley, too watery, uninteresting. Not exciting.

Bottle - Cocoa and vanilla with some milk chocolate. Depp jet brown and a decent light brown head. Milk chocolate and lots of vanilla. Sweet and OK.

Great mix here. Vanilla and good roast. Bittersweet finish. Black pour with some mocha head. Thick consistency. Tap at Barley Brothers Stadium.

Black with a fast fading beige head.Nose of vanilla, wood and light roast..Sweet palate with light roast and vanilla. Why bother ?

650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of vanilla upfront, not much else. Flavour brings out pure vanilla, with some dry cocoa in back. Not a whole lot of complexity to this one, but it's pleasant enough. Decent, but not overly interesting.
