Keg at Craft Beer Junction - Bermondsey. Pours black with a small, creamy beige head. Medium to big sweet flavour with lots of creamy chocolate, dark berries, vanilla, well toasted marshmallows, low bitterness, fudge. Full bodied, lightly oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Relatively mild warmth to finish, more vanilla, toasted coconut, roast, gooey chocolate, nips of ash, creamy vanilla, raisins, rocky road. Definitely does what it says on the tin. Delicious, layered, not cloying. An outstanding pastry stout.

On tap at Craft Beer Junction. Pours just black with a dirty tan head that fades to lacing. Aroma is chocolate, macadamia nuts, vanilla, coconut, sweet but not overly so. Taste is chocolate, coconut, vanilla, hint of nuts, just a hint of booze, super smooth, quite sweet but not overpowering. Superb.

Aromat nie tak i tensywny, ale smak bardziej elegancki od poprzedniego, nieprzegieta slodycz, kokos, te makadamiowe orzeszki fajo graja. Ciala ciut mniej, ale powaga, bardziej elegancko. Pyszka

Fat på Brewskival. Kolsvart, tjock utan krona. Kola, choklad, vanilj, snäll kryddighet, fat. Stor och maffig med en kletig kropp och stor sötma. God, kletig dessertstout.

Draught @ Brewskival 2019, Helsingborg, Sweden. Smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with loads of coconut, vanilla, bourbon and toffee notes. Slick and quite tasty pastry stout.
