Bottle, Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Poured a blackish brown with a very thin biege head. Some malt and sweetness in the aroma. Fairly soft mouthfeel. Was expecting something a bit creamier and hoping for a bit more in the flavour which whilst having some nice elements of chocolate and malt, doesn’t quite nudge this into the realms of being very good.

Mar 23, 2008 Bottle (4.5% version). Chocolate milk, cola, light charcoal aroma. Opaque black-brown color with minimal head. Sweet creamy chocolate/coffee flavor - mild acidity/carbonation. Smooth with some pep.

Jul 28, 2007 Bottle. Almost black with a moderate beige head. Sweet malty aroma with some roasted notes. Easy drinking, with milk chocolate and roasted coffee flavours before a creamy yet dry finish. Very enjoyable.

Jul 9, 2007 Bottle. Rich chocolate/cocoa nose with a touch of burnt aniseed. Pours very dark with hardly any head. Flavour lets down a little - it’s ok, but a little astringent and slightly sour in the finish. Mouthfeel is dead flat - too flat. Overall this one still needs work.

Dec 17, 2006 Cask (handpump) at The Pig & Fiddle, Bath. Very dark brown colour - not quite opaque. Thin beige head. Soft malt aroma, but quite restrained. More roasted, burnt malt character on the palate. Smooth and mellow mouthfeel with a fairly dry finish. Didn’t really find the sweet creamy elements often associated with milk stouts.
