Super Nice
Torch & Crown Brewing Company

L: Pours a dark, rich chocolate brown that forms a nice espresso head, which fades slowly but leaves behind a nice layer of retention on the surface, albeit with minimal lacing. When held to the light, the brew has a nice umber hue that is opaque.

S: Roasted malts, chocolate, nuts, some molasses or burnt sugar.

T: Cacao nibs, roasted malts, maple syrup or molasses, sugar, pecans. More sweet than bitter. Decadent but not cloying.

F: Full-bodied. Coating and has a velvety texture to it. Syrupy and has a nice carbonation.

O: Nice sweet dessert style stout. Sweet, not as bitter. Good stuff, definitely worth the purchase.

Immediately the most pecanesque beer I've ever had. Definitely beats out quite a few other beers that market themselves as pecan beers. The maple is surprisingly lax here, taking a back seat to the pecan and immersing itself within the nutty character, like the sweetness in a pecan pie. The chocolate is also fairly prominent with a fair bit of milk chocolate notes itself. So you could either call this a chocolate pecan pie or chocolate pecan turtle candy and both would be accurate, though in truth I guess it's based off a chocolate maple pecan donut so that may be the best frame of reference. There's plentiful roasted malts between the adjuncts, a thick and syrupy body (with no head) that has plentiful carbonation underneath the thickness that's almost like a smoothie, so thick it has buried it's 11% abv. Definitely a decent imperial stout.
