Whangdoodle - Holiday Treat
The Veil Brewing Co. - Production Brewery

 

Poured from a 500 ml bottle into a snifter glass.
L - Pours a dark brown color with minimal tan head.
S - Smells of coffee and chocolate.
T - Taste matches the smell, lots of coffee and chocolate, maple syrup, with some cinnamon on the finish.
F - Full bodied and lightly carbonated.
O - Really nice holiday stout. I’m surprised the flavors have not faded, as it’s a year old.

 

The beer does note pour much head without doing a hard pour and when it does, it comes it out as a dark brown that looks pretty nice and creamy. The beer itself is dark chocolate brown that is essentially black with a thick, syrup like texture to it. It is dark, very very dark.

The smell is pretty good. It has an indulgent mix of cinnamon, dark chocolate, maple syrup and a moderate coffee note to it are a very good mix. It is an extremely indulgent mixture that definitely says holiday treat.

The taste is just as delicious as the smell. The main note is the maple syrup that combines well with the cinnamon with a slightly bitter coffee in the finish.

The feel is pretty good. It has a heavy but creamy and syrup like body with light carbonation to it.

Overall, a frigging indulgent beer that is absolutely worth getting.

 

 

 

A-Pours a very dark color with a slight head and lacing
A-Aroma has mapple, cinnamon and coffee hints
T-The taste follows the nose with a mapple, cinnamon and coffee flavor
M-A medium bodied decently carbonated beer
O-A good Stout

This one pours a very dark black color, with a thick reddish-brown head, and a little bit of lacing. The head looked like cinnamon chocolate milk and lasted a weirdly long time - kind of cool.

This smells like rich and roasty coffee, cinnamon candy, vanilla, chocolate fudge, and bittersweet maple.

This is much more balanced than Lord Whangdoodle. The coffee here is absolutely killer, adding some smoke, roast, and heavy chocolate flavors to the beer, which balances out the sweetness provided by the maple. The cinnamon is light but adds a nice subtle spiciness.

This is very thick and very chewy, with a great level of drinkability, as there's absolutely no booziness.

This is much better than the reviews are suggesting - I liked it a lot.
