Double Chocolate & Milk Stout
A bigger, with double the chocolate & double the decadence version of Cocow. Dry nibbed with raw cacao nibs during conditioning to impart a big chocolate nose and help balance the rich body of lactose sugar & oats

440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a massive fizzy tan head. The aroma is light roasty malt, earthy, mineral, light chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet and liqourice bitter, with a roasty, liqourice, light chocolate, lactose palate. Medium bodied with lively initial carbonation. Some mild infection going on sadly, but thankfully the beer was still drinkable.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Black colour, beige foam head leaving lacing and aroma of roast malt, brown sugar, dark fruity, chocolate & coffee. Taste is sweetish, roasted, dark malty, cocoa, chocolatey, coffee, with earthy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry roasty bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Keg @ Hop In Beer & Gin House, Brecon. Dark opaque appearance, off-white pale tan head. Smooth on the palate, good rich milky chocolate character balanced by a nice roast presence, good full body nicely rounded with a little lactose softening things. Really nice this.
