Bortle from the brewery. Rich boozy aroma of mocha and vanilla. So far on point. Dark and glossy. Frothy tan head. Comes in with a creamy vanilla taste. However once I draw in the beer bitter coffee kicks in with quite a heaviness to it. Sour berries into finish the boozy. Thick. Creamy with interference from the fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Decent but unbalanced in that it gets more and more boozy which hides the sweet Stout. On second thoughts, that's not really a complaint.

Bottle from Fuggles Beer Cafe Tonbridge and drunk at home. Black beer lasting tan head. Sweet chocolate vanilla and coffee aroma. Some chocolate biscuit aroma. ABV is present in mouth. Very pleasant dark chocolate biscuit with a slice of vanilla. A little too fizzy affects the mouthfeel. A little oily molasses flavour but mostly a dryish biscuit. Pretty decent.
