(Draught at BrewDog Camden, London, 21 Nov 2019) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, coffee and coconut. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, coconut, vanilla and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Smooth and creamy with lots of chocolate, vanilla and coconut. Yummy. Very nice.

16 oz can @ home, bought @ Una Mas, Nieuwegein. Black with a tan head. Chocolate and vanilla aroma with some coconut as well. Taste is sweet with a light bitter finish. Nice balanced milk stout, a pleasure to drink.

On tap at Griffin Claw, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is very boozy, with lots of brandy barrels, toasted bready malt, and some caramel. Flavour is full of brandy barrels, followed by caramel and toasted bread. Dominated by the barrels. Fun stuff, but the M�rzen character is indiscernible.

On tap at Griffin Claw, pours a hazy amber red with a small pink-tinged white head. Aroma brings out the tart raspberries and lacto upfront, with a touch of blueberry maybe. Flavour is more blueberry, with lots of acidity, tart raspberry and lacto. A little harsh and lacking cohesion. Fun one, but it's pretty haphazardly brewed.

On tap at Griffin Claw, pours jet black with a small dark brown head. Aroma brings out chocolate, caramel and some earthy coffee. Flavour is robust, with lots of earthy cocoa, some coffee, and a bit of fruity tartness that I'm not sure is intentional. Still, quite complex and a nice interplay of different elements. Very good.

On tap at Griffin Claw, pours a clear copper brown with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals plenty of the bourbon barrels upfront, accentuated by the espresso beans, and toasted malt. Flavour is a bit harsh upfront, with what seem like low-quality bourbon barrels, followed by espresso, booze, and toasted malt. The interplay of flavours works pretty well, even given the aforementioned shortcomings. Good stuff.
