440ml can at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Dark drown and opaque with a ring of tan head. Burnt caramel, hazelnut, vanilla bean, some milk chocolate in the aroma. Taste is sweet, but not overly so. You can tell there's a beer outside of all these sweet flavours. The sweetness does linger on the tongue however and combines with the intense bitter hop to make a nice balance in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Really good if you like pastry stouts!

Can from Beer52. Dark brown to black with a beige head. Definite cakey mouthfeel, with a chocolate cake flavour as well. There's a lot of rather artificial chocolate syrup in there, along with burnt caramel. There's a roasty note in the background that offsets the artificial chocolate syrup just enough to let me enjoy the beer - and actually enjoy it more than I thought I would at first. The fake flavour stops me giving this really top marks, but it's a fun brew that made me smile, and for that I can forgive a lot.
