This one pours a very dark black color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like almond cream, cake frosting, milk chocolate, oak, and coffee.

This is pretty sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. There’s a nice oakiness here, some caramel, and a nice sweet bourbony and vanilla finish. There’s a ton of vanilla in this beer – I would perhaps dial it back for my personal preferences, but this is still done well for a pastry stout.

This is medium bodied, very creamy, and not boozy at all.

This is definitely a beer to share with a group of people – it’s good, but definitely sweet and intense.
