A pleasant stout with aromas of vanilla, caramel and milk. On tasting, there's also a strong citrus flavour.

Can. 440ml just fits in a Duvel glass, so it's just unclear gold with an inch or so of white head. 3+ Aroma is boozy with dough, oranges, coriander, white pepper. Medium bodied, quite creamy with moderate carbonation. Fairly sweet with sugary dough, oranges, pepper, coriander. A little earthy seedy note is slightly intrusive. Bitterness and a waft of booze swell gently towards the end. Good.

2019 RIS. I love this beer. Pours like milk and has aromas of cocoa, coffee, licorice, bread and a little grapefruit and pine. The King. Or, should I say, the Czar.

From a 375ml can on 4/8/2020. Pours a deep brown with a small head. Has a distinct milk chocolate fudgey nose. In the mouth, it's very sweet - again milk chocolate, fudge and cocoa, with a gentle, slightly sharp bitterness finishing proceedings. The mouthfeel is a touch creamy and the carbonation moderate. A more than decent sweet stout.

A very smooth, easy-drinking chocolate stout. strong notes of belgian chocolate and milk combine with a little coffee for a lovely aroma. It's not thick on the palate, and yet the texture is quite fudgey. My only criticism is that the bitter hops at the back of the palate leave a discordant note in the aftertaste.

From a 440ml can on 24/5/2020 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a deep brown with a small head. Smells of chocolate and vanilla. The tatse follows suit - milk choclolate, and vanilla with a bit of caramel , with a mild roasty finish. The mouthfeel is silky, the carbonation moderate. A pleasant, well made sweetish stout.

Can. Black. Vanilla and choc nose. Flat as a tack. Lovely burst of milky choc flavours. Sweet but restrained. Doesn't quite linger as long as hoped and feels thin by bottom of glass. Still fun though.

2018 edition, but says bottled 31/05/2019. So 1 year old.Pours black with a large tan head.Nose shows cocoa, bready malt, slight oxidised notes, toasty malt, and heavy roasted malt.Flavours include more heavy cocoa and roasted malt, a bit of a liquorice hit, a fair bit of bitterness from the roast but also a decent whack of chocolate syrup-like sweetness to balance it out. A bit more of the oxidised note. Very decadent. Booze is pretty well hidden. Starting to show it's age just a little, wouldn't necessarily recommend any further aging.
