Look: Jet black with a copper head, and minimal lacing.
Smell: Cocoa & hint of vanilla the roastiness comes through as well.
Taste: Follows smell though the marshmallow is there too.
Mouthfeel is unctuous & not cloying. I expected worse due to the lactose and cream.
Overall quite an interesting stout. It could have gone overboard with sweetness, but didn't.
Liked it a lot.

Pours as deeply, darkest brown as you can get, with a copper sheen added. A one finger copper head that vanishes in a blink of an eye, leaving the glass clean. There is little to no carbonation. Aroma is, oddly, near absent. There is the faintest hint of coffee and vanilla, but very faint. Very bewildering. Taste, however, is chocolate, vanilla, hints of coffee, all of which is smooth and touched by sweetness. Some caramel, at the very end, is also present. This dude abides.

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a narrow beige collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of milk chocolate and cream are present in the nose along with hints of vanilla.
T: The taste has flavors of chocolate and coffee with notes of vanilla and hints of lactose.
M: It feels medium- to full-bodied and rather smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer has a very nice smooth mouthfeel that coats your mouth. It does a very good job at hiding any traces of alcohol from the taste.
Serving type: can

A Tavour treat. Pours a black color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma is chocolate, caramel and roasted malts. Taste is sweet chocolate, caramel and vanilla with no bitterness. Smooth and creamy. A good stout.
