Styled as an oatmeal stout, but with a myriad of complex caramel and roasted malts, brings you a full bodied stout that full of complexity and is perfect for relentless winter we're enduring. Notes of milk chocolate, dark roasted coffee, and marshmallow.

16oz can. No dating information found.
Black colored body, with red cherry colored back lit edge. At best the poured head presented as a thin cap, and after a couple of minutes the surface is free from head except for a few scattered uprising bubbles. No lacing.
Aroma of dark roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate.
Taste is sweetened with the marshmallow, and filled out with dark roast coffee and malt, and milk chocolate. Coffee and chocolate are prominent in the aftertaste, and then there is a brief re-appearance by the sweet marshmallow.
Full and thick mouth feel. Syrup texture. Quiet carbonation.
Balance, integration, and intensity encountered here.
