(Keg at Black Door as Decade of Decadence, 20171022) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had sweetness and coffee with milk. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, coffee with milk, burnt malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A too sweet brew with coffee notes.

Draught @ Kitty's. 14.10.2017. The beer poured pretty much black with a thin brown head. Milk chocolate, coffee, mild roast and sweetness. Hint of vanilla in aroma. Vanilla bun and chocolate dominates. Lots of coffee. Milky sweet. Lovely, good drinkability. Notes of cinnamon comes to mind. Dessert beer. Gimme more!
