Nate (2232), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 15, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Awesome aroma! Vanilla and oak, chocolate and coffee, mild smoke and toasted grain. Sweet and smoooth, like a malted chocolate milkshake. Dark black impenetrable body with dark brown creamy lacing head (on nitro). Medium watery body with light carbonation. Starts with chocolate malted and vanilla. Light oak and coffee and sweet-sour tang of brewed coffee or burnt grain. Reminds me a lot of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. Very little bitterness at all. Smooth and just a bit watery. Nice stout.
Sammy (3041), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 6, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Black, A new offering that is very vanilla almost synthetic, like a milk stout, and does contain a creamy lactose.Drinkable and another offset of bitter roast. Sugar overall and meets the advertised after-dinner dessert. Cask it.
