On tap at Midnight Sun, pours a cloudy deep dark amber / mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is very expressive on the vanilla and cocoa upfront, with essentially no roast — not getting the oak either. Flavour is chocolatey upfront, with lots of milk chocolate, light vanilla and a hint of roast. Quite gentle for its high-gravity. The hops aren't felt much, and the body is light. Tasty but I've never been super convinced by these pale stout.
