Chocolate malt and coconut are the bedrock of this dark as night milk stout. Lactose additions boost texture and body making for a rich, smooth finish - a perfect end to the graveyard shift.

Cask @ Rock Box, Blackburn. Black with a small light-brown head. Mildly milky but crisp and smooth for it. Low on roasted notes but some are available, this matters little though, it's pretty good!

1/3 pint, on keg at Docks Beer. Shared with Finn. Upper part lacing from a stable fawn-coloured head. Pitch black in the glass. Roasted malty aromas, scent of dark chocolate. Fine malt-forward flavours of nuts, earth, and chocolate, lactose sweetness beneath. Ends with roasted malt, dry and not overly sweet. Likeable. (Grimsby 15.10.2022).

Delt med Rune. Svart. Lavt tett skum med litt farge. Aroma av bålrøyk. Smaken søt frukt. Tørr, karamellaktig bitter avslutning.

Keg @ Docks Beers, Grimsby. Pitch black pour, beige head. Light milky chocolate nose. Interesting milk stout overall, medium bodied, oily palate, good chocolate milk character coming across alongside some soft roast and creamy suggestions. Decent.

330ml can from Beer52: BB 30th Sep 2021. Drank at home on 28th Feb 2021. Black bodied, decent tanned head that stayed the distance. Smooth malty feel to this, subtle coconut nose and taste adds interest to this easy drinking Stout. Love the shadow of the Grimsby Dock Tower on the can.

Rocky brown head left a froth on a near black body. Malt & port aroma. Medium bodied, sharp with a thin back. Bitter, dark chocolate, angostura bitters & pithy tastes. Not for me
