Overall Impression: 8/10

Notes

A well balanced and unique stout adventure. The coffee flavours are matched really well with the dark malts - and the lactose adds a subtle sweetness to tie it all together. Mouthfeel is thick, with very low carbonation. Turns out this one has nitro in it which would explain the low carbonation appearance and mouthfeel
