473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, milk chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, caramel, toffee and earth. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, milk chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, lactose, licorice, caramel and earth in a dry, mild bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Enjoyable and easy drinking.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 6/26/2020. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky light khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, toffee, cream, butter, fudge, nuts, biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with light notes of licorice, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/black/bready malts, cocoa nib/powder/butter, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of huge milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, toffee, cream, butter, fudge, nuts, biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with light notes of licorice, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light pine, herbal, woody, grassy, roast, charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, toffee, cream, butter, fudge, nuts, biscuit, dark/brown bread/crust, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/black/bready malts, cocoa nib/powder/butter, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with an awesome roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; with no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 5.75%. Overall this is an awesome flavored milk stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/black/bready malts, cocoa nib/powder/butter, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/roasted/drying finish. Very smooth, soft, silky feel. Awesome balance of rich malts, lactose, and cocoa nib/powder/butter flavors. Light earthy hops and fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on English style example as expected.
