1 PINT, .9 FL. OZ. bottle
Served in a snifter

This beer pours jet black and is topped with an inch of deep mocha head that leaves no lacing.

It smells like a candy bar. Lots of chocolate and nutty aromas. I also get vanilla and some barely perceptible coffee.

Delicious nutty, chocolate flavors with some vanilla. Rich flavor

Full bodied with an oily, thick, viscous mouthfeel

It reminds me of HOMES candy bar stouts they release around Halloween but at a much lower price point. Permanent HOMES I think is the one I'm thinking of.

 

 

Brown edging on a pitch black pour, brown ring resides with a small presence. Smells of almond, big time nougat, coffee bean, fudgy brown batter, vanilla, marzipan, and hints of marshmallow. Tastes comes across like tiramisu as it lingers, with the coffee and rich chocolate playing so well together, this emerged out of the subdued and somewhat muddled waves of vanilla, lactose, almond, nougat, and marzipan meeting. Feel is lighter yet full and viscous, sugar is felt more as it warms. Delicious dessert stout

Thick and opaque, pours with a half-finger of light tan, dense head. Marzipan, brownie batter, and sugar wafers on the nose. Overtaken by cassia bark and earthy coffee once it hits the tongue. Lactose is slightly heavier than I would prefer, but I'm not a huge seeker of pastry stouts, so it's probably fine if this is your style.
