This one pours a very dark black color, with a tiny head, and no lacing.
This smells like concentrated stout syrupy, with sweet vanilla and coconut leading the way.
This is definitely tasty, but it's also just completely overly intense. I'd want some more barrel character here. The vanilla and coconut dominate, and give the impression of one of the melted ice cream sundaes you can order at Starbucks. It's just too sweet and concentrated to be enjoyable beyond a few ounces.
This is super thick, with no booze, and just a thick and gelatinous mouthfeel.
This is good in the loosest sense, but it's also just completely absurd. As Ian Malcolm once said - "Your brewers with so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
