This Bath-based brewery was founded in early 2015. This is one of their main beers which is a milk stout brewed with coffee and caramel additions. It was awarded the best Chocolate and Coffee Flavour Category for UK in the 2016 World Beer Awards. I served this chilled.

Appearance: Black, turning to a deep brown when held to the light. The head is very thick and long lasting with light tan colour.
Aroma: Very sweet nose but with some salty/savour notes similar to black olives. The sweet notes include caramel and sherry.
Flavour: Slight sweetness with caramel and vanilla on the front. Cherries and peaans on the back.
Body: Very smooth on the front with a medium-thick body, however the carbonation in the back is a little off.
Aftertaste: Turns into a slight, green bitterness with lots of burnt toast and a little sweet coffee.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 8, really nice milk stout with a good sweetness that doesn't overpower and is nicely countered by a slight bitterness in the back.
Price Range: The last of the 8 beers for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml bottle, great price for this dessert beer.
Food Pairings: It's more of a dessert beer, so something sweet, probably Stroopwafel as it would go well with the caramel.
