With a year in the bottle, this beer is filling out and showing more than sweet chocolate. The nose has chocolate, coffee, a touch of sourness and a slight vegetal underlay. The taste has developed an endearing smokiness on top of sweet chocolate, roasted coffee and a touch of fudge. Rich and a bit slick. Likin’ this aged version more than the fresh, green version.

Bottle from the brewery that pours a black colour with a small amount of brown highlights. The head is big, creamy, very long lasting with some nice thick creamy lace. The cocoa nibs is what is in the nose over the roasted malts. Hints of wood. The mouthfeel is smooth with a light warming. Alcohol is well-hidden. Seems like bitterness wants to take over in the finish, and linger. Not feeling the vanilla, but the bitter cocoa is what takes charge. Not much sweetness expected from chocolate malts or lactose usually found in Milkshake beers. Makes it easier to sip on a winter's cold night.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a large light brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light dry roasted malt with some nice coffee notes with vanilla notes. Taste is a great mix of black chocolate notes with some vanilla and light coffee notes. Finish is tad too dry and slightly astringent with very little residual sugar notes. Body is full with nice creamy texture with good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very enjoyable though lacking some minor fine-tuning.

A deep dark stout with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with with light vanilla notes, butterscotch, nice and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with loads of vanilla, alcohol warmth and coffee notes, very nice.
