Taste is sweet and spicy, chocolately dark malty, notes of cinnamon, hints of nutmeg, vanilla, a touch of aniseed, allspice, a mild, peppery touch of chili. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, creamy, minimally sticky palate. Close to but not fully on level with Stone's Xocoveza. Very nice.

Canned @ Pien bar, Helsinki. Chocolaty sweet with awesome cinnamon notes. Cinnamon dominates, chocolate in the back, light sweetness. Still, the cinnamon... And it works.

Aus der Dose im Muted Horn Berlin 2019-04 getrunken. Dieses Milchstout kommt mit einen vollen Körper bleibt dabei aber recht süffig. Der Einsatz von Tonkabohnen ist hier recht deutlich aber nicht vollkommen harmonisch. Doch bleibt es ein wirklich gutes Bier. Prost!
