Black with dark brown edges and a thick, bubbly tan collar and reaching arms of lace.
Sweet caramel apple absolutely explodes on the nose, paired with some sticky fudge, cinnamon and marzipan.
Taste is mocha marshmallow, sweet caramel apple again, with a hint of cinnamon booze or a spice reminiscent of Maker's Mark. This is something else entirely--I've never had a BA stout that tasted like this without intentionally adding these flavors.
Full and sticky but fluffy, finishing semi-dry.

Pours black dark tan head leaves lots of lace.
Aroma is like my flask of Markers Mark I took camping.
Taste some roasted malt dry bakers chocolate, and bourbon notes. Not very complex, worth a shot but pretty simple.
Mouthfeel is not as big as you would think but smooth.
Overall thought it would be great from the nose but just not complex enough.
