Broken Dream from Siren is a deliciously dark stout brewed with lactose. It's a dark brown ale with a decent sized tan head that's very loose and quickly disperses to leave a flat appearance.
It gets full marks for aroma with notes of coffee, chocolate and malt. It smells so rich and decadent that I couldn't wait for my first sip. The taste is lovely; much like the aroma, it's a mouthwatering combination of coffee, chocolate and malt. The sweet chocolate (and lactose) takes the edge of the bitter coffee to give a perfectly balanced stout.
It's a medium bodied, semi-smooth stout with low, tingly carbonation. It's not one of the more expensive stouts either - currently priced around £2.30 for a 330ml can, which is amazing value for money. It's so tasty that Ale definitely Be Seeing You again.
