Ravenna Brewing Co

Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing opaque in the glass with a thin khaki head that dissipates to sparse patches with slight lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, dark chocolate, cardamom, nutmeg and allspice; festive. Flavor is dark toasted malt, dark chocolate, a hint of coffee, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice and clove and whiskey. Spicy finish with a little barrel woodiness. Medium bodied with moderate creaminess. A nice introduction of chaie spice to a rich stout. The spice blend is very true to the Indian tea flavoring and it works well with the stout malt. The cardamom is fairly forward, but the blend is largely harmonious. The spices hide the whiskey barrel notes, although they are present in the finish. I was taken aback by the smell 8 oz. can, but this is spicy enough that although thoroughly enjoyable, a half snifter is sufficient for an evening. I liked this a lot and hope to see it again.
