Bottle courtesy of Ronny. Blackish dark brown pour with a frothy mocha head. Malty roasty nose with roasted malts, toasted oatmeal, dark bread, coffee, chocolate, burnt cookies & minerals. Sweet, bitter, malty & roasty taste. Soft, round, creamy, slightly astringent & tiny boozy mouthfeel. Solid coffee impy but I think I preferred the non-double version better.

Draught at Publick House, Trillium 2nd Anniversary, 3/23/15
Dark ebony body seems opaque or close thereto with a beige head that slowly recedes to cover.
Milk chocolate, hersheys syrup-like nose does provide a touch of roast on the tail-end, while plentiful vanilla and cream notes further sweeten the deal. Some light vinousness, mostly passing, is the real treat and would that it were more lasting. As is, quite pleasant, if unremarkable aroma, with a medium strength overall (no alcohol noted).
Holy crap this stuff is sweet. Milk chocolate, vanilla cream, honey, chocolate milk; it’s all here. Moderate carbonation attempts to keep things from getting cloying and it’s not that the stuff tastes worty, there’s just a complete lack of balancing roasted barley/chocolate malt. Almost zero bitterness. The vanilla flavor builds up to the point where I don’t want to drink more after about 2-3 sips. Was the idea, Hey, let’s throw a bunch of vanilla, rolled oats, base malt and some darks malts just for color? Little/no hop apparency. Alcohol is concealed nicely, though!

375 ml bottle with a orange sticker that is dated 11/18/14. Bottle provided by my friend Sara W. Compared side- by - side with the regular Pot and Kettle. This wins. Aroma is slight subdued and milder, with dark fruits, chocolate and red grape hints.

The dark fruit gives a mild cola hint up front of the sip with the body having a nice fullness. Thick and chewy much like the standard version but no oat flakes. The alcohol is mostly covered with a very light presence after the sip.
