Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is peanut butter, some dried fruits, mild coffee as well as some chocolate and mild alcohol to it as well. Flavour is liquorice, chocolate, some syrup, mild peanut butter with dried fruits and some figs. Sweet, but not overly so.

dark to dark brown, light brown smooth head with bubbles.
aroma is heavy on the chocolate and the honey, some vanilla notes too, in total it comes off as quite artificial but rather yummy. like a chocolate-honey cake in a discout supermarket that is trash, but still smells good.
flavor is very pastry stoutish in that it is tons of various flavours you would not associate with roasted malts, and then some roasted malts to base it all. But it is quite well orchestrated and things are balanced so it's not overly too much artificial vanilla or overly too much artificial honey or the like. In fact the honey flavor seems very legit and could be from quality honey. also chocolate and a bit of bakery pasty. overall come off as very non-beerish - but for a pastry stout this is pretty good actually - balanced.
