Pours black with a mocha head. Smells of almonds and chocholate. Think mouthfeel with good sweetness and flavor balance. Really liked the sweetness in this beer. Extremely drinkable.

A: Beer pours a pitch black body with an almost milk chocolate light brown head. Beer maintains head and lacing well throughout the drinking.
S: Main smells are of almonds and chocolate. Very sweet aromas coming off the beer.
T: Overtly sweet, may not be everyone's thing but was enjoyable. Tastes are almost like a liquid candy bar. Getting mainly almonds and chocolate. Tastes mimic the smells only stronger. I enjoyed the sweet tastes but may be too much for others.
M: Very thick mouthfeel. Sweet flavors hide the double digit ABV. Very easy to drink but super sweet.
O: Likely one of the sweetest stouts I have drank. Lacing and head retention is top notch. Very good for non barrel aged but the bold sweet flavors are likely to bump some reviewer's scores.

Dark, sweet, chocolatey and tasty. Maybe the best stout I have ever had. I am going to keep an eye on these Other half & J. Wakefield collaborations. Wish I had bought more of these bottles.

Literal chunks of coconut and caramel pour out of the bottle, and the aroma is great, however this one is cloyingly, diabetically sweet. Good but share with friends
