Can from LCB. Pours a near black with a nicely formed beige to tanned head. Aroma of chocolate, lactose, a touch of roasted malt and some dustiness. Sweet chocolate in taste with lactose and a light bitter coffee and roast. Creamy mouthfeel, and modest carbonation. Decent but it might be better on cask reading the below reviews.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Mid- to dark brown and a bit translucent with a spotty beige/khaki head. Creamy chocolate notes, a little bit of caramel. Sweet taste, bit hit of lactose, and I'm getting more of the salted caramel now. Surprisingly bitter in the finish. Medium body, not carbonated at all. Pretty good and grows on me.

Can thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours clear dark brown with a thick beige head. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa powder. Taste is honeycomb and more milky chocolate. Like a cold hot chocolate! I guess that's a milkshake...

Can from Low Cost Beer. Appearance - opaque black with the tiniest red chink at the bottom of the glass. Foamy, off white head. Nose - toffee, honeycomb and milk chocolate. Taste - dark chocolate, going into molasses and burnt toffee. Palate - medium bodied, dry roasty finish. Overall - drier than I expected, given the adjuncts. Enjoyed this.

Cask at Cavern of the Curious Gnome, Chester. Pours almost black with a small tan head. There’s vanilla and some traces of malts in the aroma. In the mouth it is smooth with a creamy texture. Roast malts and liquorice dominate the flavour plus some lactose and hints of lime. Chocolate comes through eventually as well. Finish is slightly dry and bitter. This is very nice.

Gravicask, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast to Coast Bar. Lacing rings down the glass. Covering beige head, black in the glass. Promising smell of cocoa and chocolate. Sweet chocolate flavours offset by a touch of coffee towards the ending. Sweet malty finish, lightly roasted. Nice. (Third day of the festival 24.01.2020). --- Beer merged from original tick of Porteresque Irish Cream on 13 Feb 2020 at 08:06 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.
