Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Opaque, dark brown, light sparkle, ample head with excellent retention, light lacing. Aroma is strong sweet malts, cacao nibs, milk sugar. Taste is sweet/roasted malt, milk chocolate. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. A nice milk stout!

Can poured into English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a one finger khaki head. Dissipated finely to leave some concave sliding lace.
Aroma: deep rich dark malts, roasty & toasty, sweet ash, sweet cream, coffee tones, sweet earthy and cocoa powder
Flavor: lovely balance of sweet ash & toastiness to the roasty tones and earthy extras; mild aftertaste of cocoa powder, rich malts and sweet ash
Texture: about medium bodied, perhaps a touch under, sessionable to being a partial sipper, just a wee bit under from being cloying, finishes with sweet cream, sweet ash and dry cocoa powder
Overall: I'd say a very nice milk/sweet stout for a dessert beer.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Lost down the back of the sofa this one! Clear dark brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Airy smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Airy dark malts, a modest but sweetish dark chocolate and coffee vibe, thin dark malt cream. Fruity esters. Airy and semi dry finish. Inoffensive but I would be properly bored even attempting half a pint of this.

25/4/2025. Can shared by Colin, cheers. Pours black with a short lasting frothy beige head. Aroma is milky chocolate, cocoa powder, caramel, condensed milk, vanilla, dried fruits, berry hints. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Moderate body, lightly fizzy carbonation. Likeable.

Light black with a fast collapsing khaki head.
Nose is tangy fruit rinds, charr, herb.
Taste comprises cocoa powder, faint lactic tang, charr, ashen nip, dried fruit rinds.
Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, drying close.
Okay but hoped for more.
