An old school 22oz bomber bottle. Have no idea how old this is. Possibly very old. But surprisingly this held up really well. The stout is fairly well balanced with the component ingredients of the pastry stout coming through nicely. There are hints of a jelly donut. Not too sweet and with a medium body feel. Well done for a brewery I haven't heard of especially out of a bomber that could have been collecting dust on a shelf for a while.

Taste: Sweet doughnuts, vanilla, dark chocolate malts, lactose, some boozy bite in the end. Malty, sweet, toasted milk nose.Black, opaque, with tan head and delicate lace. Medium to full body. After meal dessert ale.

Thick black body with no head. Smell is cakey donut with chocolate, huge vanilla, lactose, and dark grains. Taste actually thought nailed the vision in that the donut flavors are starring, there is some coffee, vanilla, and lactose amongst the malts, but surprisingly not overly sweet. Feel is dryer and more bready, definitely on the pasty stout side of things. Nice work
