Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malt, oats, dark chocolate, mocha, coffee, hoppy notes, chocolate chip cookies. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and moderate roasty hoppy bitter. Body is medium, slightly creamy. Great balance, very smooth. Wonderful mocha chocolate Stout, I’ll just quote a fellow ratebeerian who put it very succinctly, "it’s like Ben & Jerry’s icecream in a glass". ●●● Rerate: Nothing of the richness I experienced earlier. Pretty ordinary Stout. Difference in batch quality? Down .1 to be fair.
