3.85/5  rDev -4.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.75
a: silky, light black almost dark brown color. poured a 1 finger tan head but that faded very quickly and now there's nothing

s: tons of roasted malt, sweet licorice, and a charred wood note. molasses, dark caramel, dark chocolate. a touch of hops. slight note of fresh coffee beans, however i don't think there's coffee in this beer

t: super sweet right away. dark caramel, roasted sweet malts, and thick molasses. sweet milk chocolate, and some sticky brown sugar. a faint touch of alcohol, which actually helps with the sweetness. a touch of charred wood as well in here as well as something sweet like lactose

m: sticky full mouthfeel with low medium carbonation

o: pretty tasty stout, but definitely on the extremely sweet side. could use a touch more roast in my book

L- Black, no light getting through, minimal head, slight toffee colored suds that rim the top of beer.....lacing moderate....not much retention

S-Sweet!!......Mix of coffee, chocolate, lactose, marshmallow, caramel....some burnt roastiness, slight ash, wood

T-Follows the nose, not as sweet but many of the same flavors......chocolate, coffee, vanilla, caramel, licorice, milk sugar, smokey wood ash in the finish

F- Slick, oily, medium plus, low carb,

O- Quite enjoyable, flavors meld together quite nice, a bit on the sweet side, glad to have tried a 4 pack
