16 ounce can - Hop City (West End) in Atlanta, Georgia.

ON: 02/14/24

Appearance: Pours a jet black body with a sensibly-sized, lightly creamyish, dark tan head.

Smell: Wonderfully smooth roasty, toasty almost weighty dark maltiness with oozing chocolate ganache, blak treacle, restrained coffee tones, and a phantasmal-like wispy alcohol waft. A genial woodsy barrel presence swimming in vanilla-infused lightly whipped cream.

Taste: A crackerjack rich dark maltiness. Again, it's rather roasty-toasty. Not-quite-syrupy but close to it with dark treacle, melted bitterish chocolate, vanilla syrup. Some slightly tangy dark fruitiness of black currants. A wriggling creaminess, a final cry from the blackened malts and a belly-warming alcohol-marinated wooden barrel presence. A good deal of vanilla flavor is sustained to, through, and beyond the creamy, satisfyingly warming finish.

Mouthfeel: Full-bodied. Relatively subdued carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel akin to melted ice cream.

Overall: Top notch. Emboldened and decidedly sweet without being unpleasantly sugary. It has an enjoyable, appreciable vanilla component (unlike something like Founders Vanilla Porter) and is pretty beefy at nearly twelve-percent ABV but doesn't go too overboard there, either. So, for me, it's a beer that doesn't carelessly step its foot into some all-too common traps.
