Marvoloso v8
Commonwealth Brewing Company

The beer pours a nice brown head that dissipates at a moderate pace. The beer itself is an opaque dark chocolate brown that appears black but is actually a really dark mahogany brown.

The smell is pretty good. It has a strong mix of coconut, vanilla, and cinnamon upfront with a moderate boozy note. There isn't much of the barrel, chocolate or coffee notes though.

The taste is mind blowingly fantastic. It has a strong mix of the sweet caramel bourbon with cinnamon upfront and is followed by the vanilla and dulce de leche. The beer transitions to the cacao nibs and dark chocolate notes alongside the rye whiskey before finishing off with the coffee, dulce de leche, and a coconut.

The feel is good. It has a heavy body with a good thickness and slightly syrup feel and light carbonation.

Overall, this was a delicious and indulgent beer worth getting. I definitely recommend trying this if you have the chance to do so.

L: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a coal black color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, tan-colored, somewhat long-lasting head. Not much lacing to speak of.

S: A big, enticing aroma of coffee, spices, malt, chocolate, vanilla, and booze.

T: Tasted of some bourbon (and its accompanying barrel), lots of coffee (not overwhelming, but definitely present), a tinge of vanilla (a sweet fleeting presence), a good shot of dark chocolate (always welcome), some malt (a solid, subtle backbone), and a lot of spice (cinnamon, in particular). This is a rich, complex, and delicious flavor.

F: An average amount of carbonation with a silky smooth finish. Medium- to full-bodied.

O: A wholly enjoyable stout. Drinkable.
