So hard to be fair to this - bottled July 2015…so.
Pours a dark brown with reddish highlights - scant reddish brown rim of fine bubbles.
Nose has an interesting mixture of spices - cardamom, ginger, chai spice - hint of chocolate.
Taste slightly sweet - chai, vanilla, dark chocolate, cardamom and hints of cinnamon and ginger.
Smooth, thin side of medium bodied at 10% - muted carbonation of 7 years of aging. Indian spice lingers.
So many things here - not a chai fan, so much age - not bad but not really for me.

Appearance - Pours a cola brown with a finger of bubbly tan head.

Smell - Roasted malts, chai spices (cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg), hint of vanilla and hint of earthy hops.

Taste - Roasted malts followed by the chai spices of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and nutmeg). The hint of vanilla and earthy hops help to finish the brew off.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth with the chai spices lingering.

Overall - A spiced stout that displays the Indian aromas to a tee. I feel that the taste could be a little more amped up with the Indian spices.

Wow-- this one was different. Definitely chocolatey, but the spices and chai tea flavors came through.
I was hoping for more bitterness but the sytle doesn't really allow that.
The alcohol is well disguised here. Doesn't taste like a 10% brew.

Day 21 of the Craft Beer Advent Calendar.

L: Dark brown, almost black, with a nice brown head that leaves some nice lacing down the side.

S: Nutmeg chocolate smell with a slight hoppy smell.

T: Strong nutmeg taste almost reminds me of a pumpkin beer, but this one has a lot more chocolate in place of the pumpkin.

F: Heavy body feel with a nice aftertaste.

O: A pretty good beer from this Calander would defiantly have this one again.
