Another stout from The Veil arrives with an accompanying packet of high expectations, & in a 500ML bottle.
The pour is thickest I have seen since the glory days of Dark Lord (when our perceptions of such things was much different...) with a diminutive head that doesn't last long. Even the nose is thick. With malt. Sweet.
Whangdoodle - Honey Vanilla Apple Brandy Barrel ain't playin'. A pillar of this could hold up a firehouse, where everyone could lick it & get apple brandy drunk. I'm in! The apple brandy & achingly sweet malts slide into the palate like interlocking pieces, warming the belly & the soul. Filtered ash, semi-solid chocolate chips. I'd have guessed the ABV to be higher, but the viscous mouthfeel alone limits this to barely-finish-the-bottle territory.
Very good beer. Give it to me in an oversized shot glass & this rockets into excellent.
