Black pour with a khaki bubbly head .... aroma of cocoa powder, lactose, caramel and roasted malts ... taste is a nice balance of roasted malts, lactose, bitter cocoa, caramel malts and some light bittering hops ... finish is bitter and dry with a lingering roasted bitter bite .... mouthfeel is thin .. very easy drinking

Draft at melnicks n sweet and tart taste. Coffee and chicocolate hints. Pretty good

Bottle. It pours a cremy, two-finger light beige head leaving lacings. Black body. Roasted, almost burnt aroma with coffee and milk chocolate. Quite sweet flavor, with roasted malts, burnt notes and coffee. Lots of milk chocolate.Some fruityness too. Maybe a bit low on bitterness. Full to medium body, very smooth and soft. Lasting roasted, chocolatey finish. Sure pleasant and tasteful, easy drinkable and well worth a revisit. 130504

Pours dark mahogany-black with towering fluffy nicotine yellow-brown head that collapses to a more manageable size after a few moments. Quite a lot of umami and roast barley notes on the nose. Surprisingly soft in the mouth, full bodied as one would expect from a milk stout, but without the immediate lactose sweetness normally perceived. this instead bubbles along in the background behind sweet chocolate, burnt raisins and fruity coffee notes. V easy drinking with nary a hint of the alcohol within. There’s a long finish, but its fairly sweet and leaves me hankering for something drier. An enjoyable interpretation but i prefer Bristol beer factory milk over this any day.

Black with a slightly brown creamy-looking head. Aroma: Chocolate, coffee, roasty, licorice, bready. Taste: Very aggressive in comparison. A lot of licorice up front, leading into a dry coffee finish. Dark chocolate, rye and roasted malt. The palate is creamy, ending in a dry roasty finish. This beer took me by surprise. Smooth palate as you would expect from the style, but the actual taste is much more aggressive. Pretty sessionable, especially for a Mikkeller beer. I might try this again.

Appearance: very dark brown with a creamy light tan head that lingers, leaving impressive lace. Aroma: melted dark and milk chocolate, a bit of roast malts, and some dust. Taste: sweet milk chocolate, some vanilla, caramel, and cream, with a sweetened condensed milk note strongly present. Finish: long-lasting sweetness balanced by lots of lactic tang and a hint of roast. Notes: Smooth-bodied, sweet, and slightly dry, with extremely aggressive lactose notes.

190413. Bottle at home. Pours black with a high frothy head. Aroma lactose, coffee, roasted malts. Surprisingly dry coffee like texture first but with a smooth finish. Strange in a good way. Not Bad.

Bottle. Opaque dark brown with a fizzy tan head. Sweet milk chocolate aroma and taste with a roasted grain finish and a silky lightly bright palate.
