Hogan Sampling		07 Mar 2026	3rd beer of this visit: A very creamy head presented on this milk stout and sticking to the end. A malty fruity first bite off this dark creamy concoction from Birling, north of West Malling, Kent, and forming part of their specialty range designed to be a dessert-style beer. A gentle chocolatey note rising with creamy pistachio infusions bobbing up and down aided by lactose (milk sugar), lending it a sweet and creamy texture. A dark fruited maltiness winning over from its roasted malt base. A dry malty bitterness paddling out from hop varieties such as Fuggles and East Kent Goldings likely to have been used to give an earthy, spicy and mild bitterness to balance the sweetness of the lactose and chocolate. One half sufficed as somewhat over-sweetened for my taste buds.
