Can, 8.2%. Black with medium brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, caramel, lacto and candy. Flavour is roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, lacto, sweet, milk chocooclate, little coconut and a little bitter.

(473ml can from Mikkeller Webshop) Pours black with a tiny rapidly fizzing few bubbles. Aroma is dominated by dark malts with fairly heavy and slightly acidic roast, molasses, graham wafers, some dark chocolate, a little raw sugar and cream. Flavour is raw sugar, dark syrup, moderate ashy/spent coffee bitter roast, dark chocolate, some graham cracker. Rather sweet up front but not quite cloying, lactose creaminess is fairly subtle, with a drying middle and finish that conveys a touch of booze heat for only 8%. Moderate plus roasty bitterness. Nice drinker sitting in a not-quite-sweet-nor-imperial bracket, dessert-like enough. Solid brew.

Draft at BIBCO. Pours pitch black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Graham cracker, marshmallow cream in the nose with a fudge note, cocoa powder. Smooth on the palate, slick and kind of oily. Lots of cacao nib, cocoa powder and coffee-like bitterness on the palate. Not as lactosey as their last few stouts, so in that sense a step up. Lingering coffee and cacao nib bitterness balances out the sweetness. Didn't like as much as V. Latte, but still a nice beer.
