Pours a pitch-black coloration with a medium, creamy, mocha-colored head. Smells of lightly roasted, caramel malt, with some chocolate and quite a sharp woody/spicy aroma also coming through that carries hints of vanilla and frankincense. Taste is a good balance of slightly roasted, quite caramelly malt, milk chocolate and hints of coffee, red berries and licorice, as well as a distinct, woody and spicy oak presence with hints of vanilla and frankincense. Finishes bittersweet, with a light bitterness and some caramel malt, chocolate and toasted oak lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
I really wasn't a fan of this at first, but it did come into its own a little more as it warmed. Just like their recent Black NEIPA collaboration with Hertl, this is a rather interesting beer that is pretty enjoyable for its sheer experimental value despite not quite working out perfectly. I think that the woody, toasted character is a bit overdone here, which brings that kinda odd note into this that almost brings frankincense to mind, which mellows as this warms, but underneath that there is a pretty nice Stout with some good chocolate, coffee, vanilla and red berry accents that is just yearning to break free. Overall, this makes for an interesting and enjoyable brew with a good balance of sweet and bitter notes, as well as a certain complexity to it, although the rather sharp woody presence seems just a bit too assertive here.
