Charlton draught, 3/25/22. Ebony. Small tan head Big chocolate nose with cookie, cream, lactose and easygoing acidity. No alcohol, barely smells as big as it is. Dark chocolate truffle finish. Soft and chocolatey with sweet, milky chocolate, prune, raisin and a reasonably attenuated body that doesn't cloy or syrup you to death. Lactose and cookie character keeps it dry. Lingering raisin and light alcohol warmth balance as well.
