Look: It pours very dark brown with a light brown head. Head retention is excellent.

Smell: It has strong aromas of vanilla and chocolate. It has a chocolate vanilla shake type smell. There are some sugary elements with low coffee.

Taste: It has strong chocolate flavors with some vanilla. It's sweet, but not to the point of being cloying. It has a milky flavor with sugar and low coffee.

Feel: It has a medium full body. It is quite smooth in texture.

Overall, it is sweet from start to finish with chocolate and vanilla flavors being the focus.

 

 

 

12oz can poured into a tulip

A- pours black in color with a one-finger creamy khaki head that reduces to a ring

S- initial aroma smells just like a glazed chocolate doughnut, with undertones of coffee, powdered sugar and fresh pastries

T- very sweet up front with sugary notes of caramel and coffee, followed by chocolate, heavy cream and a hint of vanilla. More sweetness on the finish, with notes of chocolate, milk sugars and caramel on the linger

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into a creamy, almost chewy finish

O- nice chocolate and vanilla cream notes throughout, but gets a bit cloying after a few ounces

 

Pours a dark brown color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of sweet chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Tastes of dark chocolate, sweet vanilla and marshmallow. Very sweet. Smooth and creamy.

There's no way you could ever justify having a beer for breakfast, but doughnuts are a different story. And if that story includes a doughnut dipped in beer, then there are exceptions to be made.

Untitiled Art's Doughnut Pastry Stout gets going with a very dark but not quite black pour. As its lightly frothy, slight tan foam skirts the surface, the aromas start the engulf the senses with sweet and savory, fresh baked pastries equipped with a buttery, sugary and coffee accented scent. Sweet on the tongue, the first impressions of caramel, toffee, honey and powdered sugar give the pastry stout a very sweet upstart.

And the sweetness continues to batter away at the tastebuds as the ale washes the middle palate in decadent malt sugars and impressions of sweet cream, powdered sugar, chocolate, toffee, cola and butterscotch. French vanilla and wafer sweetness add a crusty, toasty edge that bridges into a sweet coffee and chocolate, mocha-like character. Continued sweetness invites a slightly bitter late taste that plays out like aspartame.

Full bodied, lush and savory, the bigness of the beer and its dedication to the sweet breakfast pastry celebrates a high level of artistry but its cloying mouthfeel makes it hard to digest even a few modest ounces. The beer finishes sweet and with a long sugary after palate that far outlives any balance.

Pours black the only light I see is the brown hues in the stem of the goblet. Nice thick tan head falls of so slow good sheet lace.

Aroma is very sweet chocolate covered doughnut with a caramel glaze underneath , light hints of vanilla lactose under the chocolate glaze sweetness. Smells cloying hopefully not though.

Taste is wow sweetness sugary glaze over top of everything, even out powers the chocolate. Not much roasted notes this thing may be as sweet as a chocolate glazed doughnut minus the good chocolate flavor. On the plus its almost doughnut like maybe even sweeter on the negative not as tasty as a doughnut could use more chocolate. This beer is defiantly a sipper pushing cloying about as far as you can go and stay drinkable. Usually a fan of Untitled Art but don't see me having this one again.

Mouthfeel big medium smooth and mellow carbonation.

Overall a bit too sweet for me, might be interesting to cut it with a Bigfoot and see what happens might do that when I get half of it down. Again not bad guess it lives up to the advertising just to sweet for my tastes.

Pours a deep caramel black with a fluffy, doughy head. Aroma is deeply complex, with vanilla, cinnamon, caramel and cotton candy type profiles. Taste is dense caramel, dark chocolate and vanilla flavors. All are well balanced and clean. A beer equivalent of doughnuts and wonderful to boot.
