The pour cascades into the glass, a deep void of dark liquid that had nearly imperceptible amounts of lingering carbonation after settling.
The nose is rich with notes of chocolate frosting and Rocky Road ice cream. There’s the slightest touch of spice from the oak, but overall an expert use of balancing two very popular adjuncts.
There’s something so special about a beer that has such a contrasting nature between the nose and the palate. The pastry-forward profile on the nose showcases the cacao nibs and vanilla, while the flavor profile brings that 28-month barrel treatment to the forefront. Baking chocolate and oak hit immediately, followed closely by spicy nuances and a Hot Chocolate quality that lingers into the finish. Hugging the fireplace favorite closely is spicy, warming barrel heat all the way down. Drinks more like a 14 or 15% BA stout but in all the best ways possible.
Good viscosity to this; medium weight. The carbonation is low and seltzery, just present enough to cut the viscous body of the base beer. There is a touch of dryness on the tail, working well alongside the aforementioned ethanol heat.
