While there's noticeable viscosity to the pour, the expectation for a high gravity monster of a stout was never really a thought with the amount of time this beer spent in oak.
The nose is lush with notes of dark chocolate and vanilla, undoubtedly keeping Charleston Chews at the forefront of the brain. There's the slightest touch of raisin and butterscotch undertones once we really get into it. After about five minutes in the glass there's even a floral touch to the aromatics that add a uniquely complex layer.
The front-end of the palate begins the experience where the nose leaves off; burnt butterscotch, dark chocolate, and vanilla. Quickly as the beer hits the mid-palate we're greeted with all that integrated barrel character. Notes of whiskey-soaked staves and salted caramel brittle, complimented softly with flavors of smoke maple syrup and baking cocoa.
The mouthfeel is soft and smooth, with a low but present carbonation. While there's a bit of warmth on the finish, this is exceptionally smooth for the ABV. Trailing into the next sip is a touch of bitterness and some residual esters.
