The beer pours very little head that dissipates very quickly while the beer itself is a very dark chocolate black with an oily sheen to it. It looks pretty nice.

The smell is delicious. The cheesecake notes come out first and is immediately followed by the dark chocolate and hazelnut notes with a vanilla and bourbon finishing it with a slight alcohol note at the end.

The taste is more or less the same as the smell. The main difference is the hazelnut and cocoa nibs come out strongly upfront with a moderate vanilla note while the cheese cake comes in the finish. The bourbon note is there in the finish but it seems to be overtaken by the other notes.

The feel is pretty good. It has a heavy body and thick texture that feels like melted chocolate. There is a tiny bit of carbonation to it but it is barely noticeable. There is a little bit of heat in the finish.

Overall, yet another delicious and overindulgent variation of their winter seasonal and one worth getting despite the odd addition of cheesecake.

Pours opaque black, no head.

Aroma of rich molasses, cocoa, coffee, hazelnut, vanilla, and yes, hints of cheesecake. Not sure if I would have picked that out if I didn't know but after seeing it on the label you can't not smell it.

Flavor is super rich. Chocolate, marshmallow, molasses, maple, leather, mesquite, fig, cinnamon, tobacco, graham cracker, hazelnut, and pronounced barrel notes. Overwhelmingly flavorful. Interestingly I don't get the cheesecake in the flavor even looking for it.

Body is full and viscous, hints of carbonation are mild and smooth but there is a distinct booze sting which warms noticeably going down.

A very slow drinking stout, something to nurse for an hour. The richness makes it a fine choice for a dessert beer. Decadent, boozy, almost cloyingly sweet but ultimately well balanced, or at least as well balanced as a beer this bombastic can be. Definitely worth trying, and I will look forward to tasting a couple more from this series when I can.
