look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Arrives a dark fudge color with a thin ecru cap; leggy with a few spots

Smell: Chocolate, coconut and hazelnut wrapped up with Bourbon and oak tones

Taste: The Bourbon flavors arrive early but the don't overwhelm as the chocolate, coconut and hazelnut all blend together and make their presence known; the finish is on the sweet side but is far from cloying

Mouthfeel: Full bodied and creamy with low to moderate carbonation; some warmth in the gullet

Overall: This is an outstanding pastry stout; the flavors are incredibly well-balanced and every element is in its proper proportion
