A modern take on a classic, a good, proper roasty stout balanced out with just the right amount of vanilla flavor. Loads of coffee and chocolate flavors come through from the complex malt bill, with the oats adding a smooth body and the vanilla imparting a touch of sweetness without becoming cloying.

Can from This Is Beer. Appearance - black with red chinks. Off white, almost fawn head. Nose - chocolate and vanilla. Light caramel. Taste - creamy chocolate and vanilla again. Palate - creamy texture, light to medium bodied. Balanced finish. Overall - nice. The vanilla is subtle.

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Black with a small off-white head. The vanilla is not overly stated, but there’s enough here to give a lovely sweetness to its smoothish tasting roasted malts, and smoothish texture.
