Cask handpull at Coach and Horses Norwich. Black beer lasting tan head. Chocolate aroma. Chocolate flavour. Not too over the top with the lactose. Some creaminess. Them a pleasant bitter finish. Dry which is odd for a swett milk stout which it isn't. For me a dry stout with good chocolate level

Cask @ Crafty Banker, Rugby. Near black with a creamy off-white head. It's a very dense tasting milky stout for such a low strength and is slightly floral in design.

Cask ale at Coach & Horses in Norwich. Shared with friends. Decent fawn-coloured head. Pitch black body. Aroma of roasted malts, hints of caramel. Taste of caramel and chocolate joined by moments of dried fruits. Roasted mid-sweet malty ending, short-lived. Rather thin bodied. Easy going (18.02.2017).

Black color with a beige head that gives a fine lacing. Decent intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Sweet stout, yes it is. Chocolate, roast and some fruity notes in the flavor. Quite session able, but also a bit anonymous.
