Poured from 375mL bottle (thanks beerplace). Near black with small tan head. Vanilla, lactose, cocoa, super subtle coconut (almost undetectable). Vanilla and chocolate standout, but lacks cohesion, not a fan of the vanilla quality here. Just okay.

375mL bottle, pours jet black with a tiny tan head. Aroma brings out lots of vanilla, followed by lactose, coconut and a touch of metallic notes. Flavour is very rich and pastrified, with tons of vanilla upfront, followed by coconut and plenty of lactose. Very rich, oily and silky, but not the most elegant or complex. The vanilla is a bit harsh and not all that impressive. Fun over-the-top pastry stout but far from excellent.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of lactose notes with some vanilla and coconut is quite enticing. Taste is a mix of sweet black chocolate notes with some vanilla and lactose notes and plenty of residual sugar notes. Body is full with good carbonation and no alcohol notes are perceptible. Solid pastry stout though tends to veer on the sweeter side of things.
