Barrel Aged Stout - Chocolate Covered Huckleberry
Western Collective

Appearance: Pours fudge colored wtiha that cap that quickly fades to a collar; spots and ocasional streak of lacing

Smell: Loads of huckleberry aromatics with the chocolate element bringing a Raisinet-like aroma

Taste: The huckleberry dominates the flavor profile, too, which grows increasingly sweet with achocolate candy character; not getting much barrel impact

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with low carbonation

Overall: I wanted to like this more than I did because huckleberry is not something we see in the East but this is more like a fruit beer than a BA stout

Thanks, JohnGalt1, for the opportunity

16oz can from brewery. Thick black pour with ring of beige head. Aroma is sweet, part chocolate, part huckleberry, mildly boozy. Taste starts sweet, and the huckleberry fingerprints are all over this, chocolate too. While the booze hits in the aroma, it's not all that apparent the taste. Lingering flavors of chocolate covered huckleberries. Nice
