Brewed using Roast Barley and Maris Otter Pale Malt which give a huge amount of rich body to the beer and a generous amount of English North down hops to create a bitter edge, the sweetness comes from the addition of Chocolate and Madagascan Vanilla.
Brewed by Titanic Brewery for Morrison's supermarkets.

Pours near black with a small, frothy tan head, and a big hit of vanilla on the nose. Relatively thin-bodied with a slightly fizzy mouthfeel, hints of chocolate apparent alongside the vanilla and lightly roasted malt, gives it a sweet and mellow taste, with some slight bitterness in the finish

500mL bottle, pours black with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla and a slight metallic note. Flavour reveals the chocolate and vanilla initially, with a bit of that metallic note and a slightly bitter finish. Thin body with an unpleasant metallic, bitter aftertaste.

Intense sweet vanilla aroma. Quite a rich texture but with a light carbonation. Strong bitter cocoa flavour with an abundance of bitter-sweet roasted malt.

bottle at home ... deep brown ... almost sickly vanilla and chocolate aroma ... bitter charcoal up front ... lots of chocolate ... lots of vanilla ... and a bitter dark chocolate linger ... that stop the beer being sickly

50cl bottle from Morrisons. Pours deep chocolate brown in colour with a billowing milk chocolate coloured head; the sweet vanilla aroma is immediately apparent, but closer inspection reveals drinking chocolate smells as well; medium bodied and slightly oily on the tongue, the initial flavours are of bitter hops and richly roasted malts, taking me by surprise before the expected vanilla sugar sweetness hits; the finish is dry and slightly lactic. All around this is an excellent stout, and far better than the other efforts for Morrisons.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Dark brown colour, tan head. Sweet aroma of vanilla. Flavour has vanilla and milk chocolate, roasted malts. Fairly bitter. A bit overdone and too sweet for my liking.
