Served in a snifter at the Clybourn brewpub.
And here the Pre-Gold Box Excursion comes to an end. This is a barrel-aged blend of Baltic porter and oatmeal imperial stout, something that just sounded too good to pass up. It pours a straight obsidian topped by a half-finger of tan foam. The nose comprises roasted malts, oak, vanilla, buttercream, and light black cherry.

The body is a hefty medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a chewy feel. Overall, a damn solid beer; I'm not sure if the parts are distinguishable from the whole, but it's a tasty whole regardless. Now on to the Cell...
