Drekker Narfle The Garthok 30mo Heaven Hill BBA Imperial Pastry Stout, 13.7% ABV. Pours thick and black with a slight ring of bubbles. Aroma is banana, graham, marshmallow, cinnamon, and chocolate. Taste follows, plus peanut butter, quite sweet, slightly bitter, some bourbon but no burn. Good smooth and sticky mouthfeel though light on carbonation. Overall excellent, though with 30 months HH BBA I was hoping for more bourbon and more barrel. Can't believe it's me saying this, but having too many add-junks wasted the barreling. Hoping warming helps.

Poured from a 500ml bottle purchased at the brewery and poured into a stemmed snifter. Pours black with very little head. Nose is mostly graham cracker and mild chocolate. Cinnamon overwhelms the sip, which is cloyingly sweet. All the adjuncts are there but shouted down by the cinnamon. Limited barrel character, which does peek through meekly as it warms. Thick sticky body. It's an enjoyable and tasty sipper, just not as well balanced as one might like.
