This one pours a super murky and muddy looking thick opaque brown, with a very small head, and no lacing.

This smells super fudgy, with a fake-ish fudgy sweetness, but also a weird chalky aroma as well.

This doesn’t look good, smell good, or unfortunately also taste good. It’s so muddled, with no barrel character whatsoever. There’s way too much fudge here, with the expected chocolatey sweetness, but also an unpleasant chalky and astringent dry bitterness on the end. This is a complete mess and probably should not have been released.

This is pretty thick, pretty syrupy, and just incredibly hard to get down.

This went very wrong. I think the fudge was just way over utilized and reacted weirdly with the stout.

Pours brown like there’s a shit ton of chocolate in it and has lots of floaties. Smells like sweet licorice? No barrel is present. I get no chocolate out of this tastes and can’t really tell what it is but the burning bourbon is present in the finish.
