On cask at The Old Toad for their cask festival.

This is a chocolate stout with oak chips soaked in Grand Marnier in the cask.

Pours a dark brown, with some red tinges, and no head or lacing.

Smells like chocolate, roasted malt, oak, and the slightest orangey boozey twinge.

I wish the Grand Marnier aspect of this was stronger, but this is still a pretty tasty concoction. Tons of oak and wood bitterness here, along with some roasted malt flavor, a good amount of rich bitter dark chocolate, and only the slightest orange sweetness.

Medium bodied, but slightly thin for a stout, wish it was a little more beefy. Very drinkable. Smooth mouthfeel.

An interesting little experiment from Roc Brewing, one of the better casks at this festival.
