Good looking stout. Black with a creamy tan head. Nice lacing.
Nose is very boozy and slightly oaky. Faint chocolate.
Taste is extremely boozy with some faint notes of oak and chocolate. I also get some diacetyl. Not enough to be completely off putting but it's quite buttery.
Feel is full bodied with low carbonation. Again, extremely boozy and hot. Burns the back of the tongue on each sip.
Overall a pretty weak stout. The chocolate flavors are weak and hidden by the booze and diacetyl. Really tough to get this one down.
