Tap. Dark brown with bronze, coffee foam. Aroma like a typical pastry stout: sweet, toffee caramel, wafers, iron, molasses, blue plum jam, cream. Sweet taste, caramel and milk toffees, dried fruit, creamy, wafers, strange.

Appearance: Opaque deep brown to black with a one finger tall beige to tan head of low retention. Aroma: Cream powder, vinous notes, dark malts, dried fruit, distant hop. Taste: Medium sweet and light to medium bitter. Toasted malt, roasted barley, dried fruit, vinous notes, cream, citrus hop. Mouth feel: Medium plus body, soft to average carbonation. Overall: Lacking balance in my opinion. Worth a try.
