12 oz single bottle @ $5.29, red-label Boiler snifter.

Deep chocolatey brown-black with a creamy brown head of 2 fingers, leaving lots of lace behind as it recedes to a thick ring.

Aroma brings green apple jolly rancher, wet apple brandy barrel, and shades of chocolate and caramel.

Flavor brings less apple brandy than I'd hoped for, but is still pretty good. Has a certain bitterness and a pleasant metallic oatmeal stout presence, though noticeably thicker than their regular Oatmeal Stout, bringing slight apple jolly rancher, herbal hop, smoke, and dark chocolate.

Feel is creamy and smooth. Nice and thick. Mild carbonation. Moderate heat. Slight drying finish.

Overall, a pretty good beer. Not sure I'd go back for more, I'd have liked more sweetness - this is more dry - but this is decent enough.

Zipline Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged The Stout, 13.6% ABV. Pours black with a two-finger light brown head that left no lacing. Nose is apple pie, apples and cinnamon. Taste follows, slightly sweet, some bitterness. Excellent mouthfeel, overall outstanding. I didn't love Prairie Apple Brandy Barrel Barrel Noir, but this is better.
