Can: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large brown foamy head with good detention and light lacing. Aroma of chocolate malt notes with some cookie and caramel notes with some residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate malt with some residual sugar notes and cookie with caramel notes. Body is somewhat thin for the style with good carbonation with no easily discernible alcohol notes. Enjoyable pastry stout but would benefit from a fuller body.

26/12/2023. Can bought direct from the Brewery. Pours close to black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, biscuit, vanilla, roasted malt, hints of nut and honey. Medium plus sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium to full bodied, smooth and sticky, average carbonation. Quite twix like, best so far in the box.
