Black beer, can pours with a very thick tan head. Smells of caramel, a little burnt sugar. Flavour has the burnt sugar again, caramel, vanilla, sweet malt. There's lactose in here too and too much of it, unfortunately. Doesn't ruin it but stops what might have been a really nice stout from being more than okay. Not bad but unbalanced and far from the brewery's excellent best.
