Keg at Brewdog, Shepherds Bush before going to see the ever-entertaining They Might Be Giants at the Empire. Black in hue with a beige head. Black coffee and milk chocolate. Toasted hazelnuts and a touch of toffee. Smooth mouthfeel cut through by a pleasing roasted malt bitterness. The beer board said it was a vanilla oat stout, but I didn't get any vanilla. Nevertheless it's a very well balanced and very drinkable brew. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Keg at Dogtap, Ellon. It pours black with a decent creamy beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, creamy milk chocolate, coffee, praline, forrero rocher and mocha. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, toasty, touch umami, charred aspect, coffee beans, dark chocolate, nutty, praline and bitterness which lingers through the finish. Medium body and fine, velvety carbonation. Rounded and pleasant.
