Cake Walk Barrel-Aged Choco-Nilla Cake was a SoPro Taproom-only release in August 2020 on draft and in red-waxed 16.9-oz. bottles. Had in Feb. 2021 poured from red-waxed 16.9-oz. bottle into snifter.
Pours absolutely black with a thin dark-tan head which, typically for a barrel-aged stout, immediately dissipates to a thin but persistent ring, and leaves only a few specks of lace. Big aroma of chocolate, a little hop spice, and some whiskey off the pour, with grain and vanilla also evident, but the continuing aromas are chocolate and muted whiskey. Begins with a little carbonation lift, sweet chocolate, and whiskey, which starts mild but grows, all underlain by cake-like grain, before a drying, heated alcohol finish. Cake and whiskey, nicely balanced.
