Missed it last year, run seemed to be cut short by Covid so was eagerly anticipating giving it a spin. Honestly, I like my stouts with a little more oomph. For me, a better chocolate stout is Youngs, which is a bit savoury to my palate whereas this is slightly sweet. I'm not wowed by this, but I'm not disappointed either. Definitely need to let this come up to temp for a good half hour before drinking and needs to be poured. Would I buy two cases of this in one hit again ? No. Would I buy a six pack or two occasionally ? Yes I would.

I love a good dessert stout and was hoping this would give me something to froth on. But couldn't help but feel it was a bit ordinary. Kind of like when you make a Milo but don't have any milk so you resort to using water. It's good but not overly complex. Good hints of chocolate but not overly thick or creamy body that I was hoping for. If you're looking for a better alternative try the Elsie Milk Stout by Batch
