Dark with a creamy tan head. Aroma is malty chocolate, nutty, Kahlua, sweet caramel, cocoa. Full, velvety body. Very interesting and makes for a great dessert beer. While very nice, a half pint was enough for me.

[8/14] Growler, 12C. Black with a tan head. Lovely aroma of milk chocolate, vanilla and freshly toasted hazelnuts. 8+ Maybe more like a Swiss praline than a Belgian one :). Very silky, getting towards ingratiatingly so. Rich and milk sweet with lots of chocolate and vanilla, less obvious hazelnut than in the aroma. A bit earthy and with a touch of sourness as well as sweetness that I sometimes get from milk. Dries out slightly at the end. Vanilla finish with modest bitterness that builds a little. Good, but magic confined to the aroma. [8 3 7 3 15 =3.6] [10/17] Bottle. Aroma is cruder but the beer is better (at least for me). Rustic with nuts, grass and chocolate aroma. Medium bodied, smoothish. Sweet, slightly earthy, nutty. Chocolate smooths things over. Doesn't dry out much, but there's a little jolt of vanilla-tinged bitterness. The lactose registers in the aftertaste. Bitterness seems higher.
