Purchased at TG. Head minimal. No light gets through. Smell amazing coffee/vanilla/roasted marshmallow. Syrup silky feel. Really liked this offering.

I tried this beer at the brewery. It poured a opaque dark with no head and no lace. The scent had very nice bourbon and roast notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with molasses and bourbon presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had smooth carbonation. Overall it was a solid beer.

On tap. Tan head with some lace. Black color.
Pastry stout. Pretty thick with notes of MD in it. There isn’t maple in it, but I’d be fooled. Coffee and lots of it. Light roast. Fudgy. I can sort of get the pecans.
Smooth and creamy. Full bodied.

An excellent stout in the vein of a high-class w00tstout. However, I'm a bit conflicted. I've had several geisha coffees, and while they are special, I don't find geisha to be worth the price of admission, and two, it would be a crime to add vanilla and other flavorings to it. The coffee is done a disservice here. (But still, very tasty beer if you ignore its provenance.)
