On tap at York. Pours a deep brown with a light brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has lots of marshmallow and sweet chocolate with some sweet dark grains and a hint of graham cracker. Flavor is quite sweet with marshmallow and graham cracker supported by just a bit of chocolate.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a dark brown to light black with a finger of beige head that dissipates quickly. Lots of roasted malt and coffee on the nose. A slight hint of vanilla on the palate, more roasted cacao husks and coffee as it warms. Nice low abv stout that leans dry and roasty rather than sweet.
