Keg at Earl of Essex, London. It pours black with just a thin layer of brown creamy bubbles. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee and ash. Sweet lactose burnt sugar, dark caramel in there as well. Taste is sweet and a tad acidic with roasted malts, burnt coffee, ash, and a lactose sweetness that balances the roast. Very solid brew.

Pour on tap at Odell Small Batch Festival 2012, dark brownish black pour with creamy tan head. Aroma has notes of big milk chocolate, coffee, bready caramel, toffee and molasses, some roast and more chocolate notes, big and sweet. Taste is pretty nice, nice biscuit and bread going right into chocolate, coffee, toffee, hints of roast and finishing fairly sweet but dry. Tasty.

@ 2012 Small batch fest. Clear dark brownish black with a creamy beige head. Outstanding aroma of sweet milk chocolate, a charming note of fresh brewed coffee, and the milk that’s left over after a bowl of cocoa puffs. Flavor is much the same, sweet and milk chocolaty, some roasted coffee, and a gentle creaminess that’s balancing the roastiness while complimenting the sweetness. Outstanding.

UPDATED: MAY 27, 2012 Tap @ Odell. Deep brown appearance with a creamy, dark brown head. Cocoa, nutty, vanilla in the nose that kind of smells like a specialty coffee creamer. Creamy, roasty coffee, milk chocolate, vanilla, nutty flavor. Sweet dessert beer that’s pretty tasty.
