Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask online. Pours black-brown with a frothy, mocha topping. Medium sweet flavour with modest ashy roast, burnt marshmallows, molasses, black coffee, nips of vanilla beans. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, not overly sweet, cohesive adjuncts. Good stuff overall.

Can from Aldi Loco Works. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent, lasting tan head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, creamy, milk chocolate, toasty malt, coffee grounds, tiramisu, vanilla and toasted marshmallow. The taste is initially dry and roasty, some decent bitterness which lingers, but then it sweetens up, vanilla, marshmallow, milk chocolate, wagon wheels, coffee action, toasty and earthy with a dry roasted finish. Average body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Works pretty well tbh. Was slightly put off by the dessert beer and suggesting more sweetness than it has. Decent.

Black beer, thin lively head. Light aroma of malt and coffee. Flavour has coffee, toasty malt, a little vanilla, nice and smooth the oats. I don't think I'd mistake it for a milk stout if I was being forced to choose a variant but it's not a bad attempt at it. Rather drinkable. Nice maltiness which lingers into the finish. A pity it doesn't have a touch more body and depth.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Black body with no head or lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate and tonka bean. Flavour of coffee, vanilla and chocolate. Thin body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A tasty beer. Just lacks a bit of depth.

Bottle from Cork and Cask. Pours clear dark brown with a short-lived thin beige head. Aromas of coffee and vanilla ice cream. Taste is more of the same. Thin finish.
