On tap at Drake's Barrel House
A: Pours dark brown nearly black with a frothy khaki brown head that settles to a thin layer and leaves a little light lacing.
S: Big roasty malt, coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruity notes, and a little alcohol.
T: Roasty malt, a healthy dose of rye spice, dark chocolate, a little coffee, earthy, faint herbal noes, dark fruity esters, and a touch of alcohol on the finish.
M: A bit towards the heavier end of medium body, moderate carbonation, creamy smooth.
O: Drinks like an imperial oyster stout with a nice punch of rye thrown in. You are always aware that it's fairly high in %, but the alcohol presence is never overwhelming or unpleasant. Overall a well done big beer.
