--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Black, small head. Aroma of boiled milk, caramel and coconut. Very sweet with perfumy almond flavouring, boiled milk, caramel, milk chocolate and saccharine. Finishes with aching sweetness and lingering coconut. There are degrees of hell. This is on the tolerable side of pastry stout. Given a choice of horse dung and this, I might opt for the latter.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pitch black colour, small off-white head Aroma is nutty, some mint chocolate, mild herbal, almonds and coconut tones with vanilla and some alcohol sweetness too. Flavour is quite much following the pattern of the aroma, but at the same time shows the toast and mild wooden tones to it. Lovely balance and elements to it.

Reddish brown colour with lasting thin head. Nice caramel malt taste. Light but just flavoursome enough to be interesting. Session beer.
