Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 1/29/2020. Pours midnight black with a massive 2 plus finger sticky mocha head that leaves thick webs of lace all over the sides of the glass, with solid retention. 4.5
Smell is cocoa nibs, expresso, vanilla bean, toffee, and caramel. 4.5 very inviting.
Taste a tad one dimensional in the best way possible, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, caramel, and toffee. 4.5
Mouthfeel is bigger than most at 7.5%, gentle carbonation, maybe a tad dry as you would expect from a stout like this, and drinks bigger, but so tasty that it goes down really easy. 4.75
Overall this is a world class stout, that is really approachable and warms the sole on a cold winters night. A great beer..... 4.5
