Sample, thanks fonefan! Dark brown, no head. Aroma of boiled milk with custard, caramel and peanut butter. Ridiculously sweet with artificial sweetener, cloying vanilla and sticky peanut butter. God almighty, this is revolting.

Taste - sweet, caramel, vanilla, chocolate, malt, sugar, syrup, faint coffee in mix also and nuts. Some tingling from sweetness. Alcohol is hidden by all the sugars. Very pastry stout, I like it.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Almond upfront with sugary notes, vanilla, milk chocolate, some caramel. More almond throughout. Sweet and sugary flavour, not boozy. Medium to full body. Tasty.
