This beer is really great. Chocolatey, dark chocolate and smooth barrel melds with a great stout.

I didn't know much about this prior to trying it, but I will definitely seek it out as it was very solid all around.

Poured into a snifter from a 750ml bottle.

Pours extremely dark and slick. Oily like. Half inch head creeps up that is dark tan like an espresso.

Aroma is nutty and with tons of chocolate. Bittersweet notes of dark cocoa with mild milk chocolate and bakers chocolate sweetness. Almost no barrel notes in the nose. Slight molasses and mild char. Thats not necessarily a bad thing. SLight smokeyness.

The flavor is out of this world. Tons of chocolatey and coffee roast with nice midl bittersweetness to it. There are notes of bakers chocolate and some fudge with some slight nutty notes and espresso acidity. A good slight sweet barrel finish is present. Slight notes of roasted dark malts with some slight fruit notes can be perceived in the finish. Marvelous mouthfeel. Not too thick or syrupy but perfectly balanced between something chewy and full and drinkable. Even at 11.5%.
