No can date. I think this and one more from this brewery I bought before, and will no longer buy beer from them as they will perpetuate the incorrect pronunciation of gose.
Pours an off-white almost tan colored frothy 1/2 finger head with moderate retention, very dark almost black color with a touch of dark brown light sneaking through
Nose is quite nice, lots of roasted malts, getting a touch smokey from the roast, rich cocoa and powdered dark chocolate, little caramel and wafer cookie, a hint of maybe lactose sugar, a bit of earthy hop
Taste is also nice, good roasted malts with layers of chocolate, powdered cocoa, fudgey dark chocolate, little coffee roast, into lactose sugar and a little wafer cookie dough, a bit of earthy hop with a med-lighter bitterness from hops and roasted malts, touch of nougat as well, med dry finish with more creamy lactose, and some milk chocolate
Mouth is med bod, creamy from the lactose, med fizzy carb
Overall quite a nice porter, roast and chocolate are nice, malt in general is nice, I don't think it needed the lactose as it becomes more of a milk/sweet stout, but still nice. If the stout I have in the queue is good as well, I may have to consider getting more but writing them to complain about the "Brian Gose Dancing"
