Can from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Cola brown with light sparkle, ephemeral cap of head, light lacing. Aroma is marshmallow, lactose, caramel, peanut, hint of coffee. Taste is sugary-sweet blast followed by marshmallow, lactose, mild peanut. Smooth, thick, frothy texture, average carb, and sweet finish as taste. Coffee is mild or absent. Too sweet. I'm not a Reinheitsgebot purist by any means but your adjuncts needed to include "Natural and Artificial Flavors." Oh, really? What were they? And, a brown/black stout probably can do without the whitening that Titanium Oxide provides. C'mon guys, you can brew better than this.

Can from Beerdome. Very sweet with an aroma of vanilla, sugar, dark malt, milk chocolate, coconut, molasses, fudge, toffee. Flavour is massively sweet and sugary with a mild bitterness. Full body, bit sticky. Too sweet for my taste, but nice to sip on regardless. Coconut, chocolate, dig the aroma.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Lots of caramel in the aroma with dark malt, coffee, milk chocolate. Flavour is above medium sweet. Body is medium. Heavier on the caramel than on the coffee, which I did not expect. Would have benefited from a heavier body.

12 oz. can. Pours dark brown, nearly black, with a fair, foamy, tan head. The nose is strong nutmeg, root beer, anise, brown sugar, and alpine liqueur. Sweet and sugary, and mildly bitter. Quite a lot of savory spice. Heavy, syrupy, and sharp. Fun and interesting.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a hazy gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is raspberry and wood. Slick body, funky, wood, berry, dry finish, good.
