Bottle at home, 17th May 2013. Label states, 8.5 ABV. This pours dark red brown,, aroma is sweet, some hop. Taste is a little sweet, needs more balance of a bittering hop. Way under carbonated, a little more could have lifted this. OK IPA

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a deep mahogany with a glass hugging tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and coffee. The flavour is strong bitter, with bags of coffee, dark chocolate and plenty of malt on the palate. For a coffee milk stout there was a little too much coffee and not enough milk for me, but still a very good beer.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Islington, London, 26 Apr 2013) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of caramel, roasted malt, citrus and piney hops. Malty, roasted taste with cacao, chocolate, freshly ground coffee and a generous piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Interesting, and quite nice.

500ml bottle from Ales by Mail
Batch 0003, Bottled MAR 2013 - Pours pitch black with a tiny white head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee beans, sweet milk chocolate and hints of vanilla. Taste is smooth, milky and watery with hints of bitterness and roastiness. Finish is light bodied and has hints of coffee and milk chocolate with some roastiness. Quite complex considering the low abv, but feels quite watery and light.
