Had on 1.31.2018 at the cellar. Perfect smell, body and blend of the apple brandy. Taste was too good for a 4.75 so I gave it a 5.00 on taste.

If anything, the only advice I would give a reader of this review on whether they should try this or not, is "Do you like Apple Brandy?" Pours black with just the bear minimum carbonation. A small layer, if that of various sized bubbles. Smell is massive apple brandy, with just a hint of stout flavoring. Taste is much of the same. A big upfront wave hits the palate as if you are actually drinking Apple Brandy. This subsides to get a little bit of stout/roasty flavor. I personally think that the Apple Brandy flavor overpowers the stout itself, resulting in probably my least favorite Derivation to date.
