On tap at the brewery, where else? Has a heavy chocolate milk aroma but I can't pick out the lavender. Looks like muddy brown pudding. Flavour is good balance between chocolate and lavender. Mouthfeel could be fuller, feels a bit watery. Good flavour on this one at least.

Dark brown. Lots of lavender, soft chocolate, big massive lavender. Not particularly cohesive, though.

Great vanilla and light lavender. Velvet consistency. Some caramel. Pours black with decent head and lacing. Bittersweet finish. Good stuff. Tap at brewery.

On tap at Storm, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of dark cocoa upfront, with a touch of lavender. Flavour is similar, with mostly chocolate upfront, with just enough spicy, floral lavender notes to mix in. Mostly a chocolate bomb. Fairly thin body, but the flavours are really nice. Really just a nice simple chocolate stout.
