Keg at the Merchant, CW, 13/06/18. Light black with a moderate tan head that soon thins. Nose carries nice coffee tones, tiramisu mix, big coffee cake and beans. Taste comprises tangy dark fruits, chocolate, coffee grinds, spice, mellow roast. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent coffee affair.

The taste is bitter - sweet, cocoa, coffee, milk chocolate, chocolate cake, coffee, dark fruits, touch of jam, toasted nut with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Pretty flavoursome and comes together well. Rather nice milk stout.
