Draught snifter at the brewery on 4/14/06. Pours a dark black color with a tan slowly receeding head. Head leaves a small film cover over the beer. Nose is light vanilla, toffee, some dark malts but nothing truely stands out. Nice, thick body with a light bitterness in the finish. Flavors of lactose and dark and milk chocolate. Flavors, like the aroma are very mellow with mere hints here and there. Though it is very mellow for the style it is very easy to drink and not bad as an overall dark drinking beer.
