Pours jet black with only dirty tan lacing. Aroma and taste is loads of chocolate, fudge brownie, brown sugar. Definitely gits the cake vibes. Good impy.

Can from LCB, 2 months in date. Hazy gold with small white top. A pleasant citric, tropical and pine aroma. Orange, passionfruit and pine with a mild sharp fruity tang combining with a decent bitterness. Near medium bodied, slick, fine carbonation. No surprises here but this is a well made SIPA. This brings up my 1000th brewery although I note they have now ceased brewing. Tough times.

Growler from LCB. Pours black with beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, sweet toffee, hint of dark fruit. Very nice balance to this and more of a flavour profile than your average milk stout with light tangy dark berries, roast, smoke/wood, coffee, toffee. Mid bodied, fine carb. Very good.

Can from LCB, still in date. Pours black small tanned head. Certainly a rocky road aroma with the sweet marshmallow coming through strongly as well as chocolate biscuit, dark malt and liquorice. Taste of sweet marshmallow, raspberry compote, chocolate biscuit, dark malts and liquorice. Medium to full bodied, low fine carbonation. A little sweet at first but the bitterness builds over time giving it a decent balance in the end. Not a cloying mouthfeel like some dessert stouts. Actually a very nice sipper.
