    Well, thanks to our very dedicated reviewer, WBAYDN poster, and all around generous BA @superspak I had this beauty for breakfast.

    French Toast Devil Dog | Roak Brewing Co.
    4.37/5 rDev +2.6%
    look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

    Pours a profoundly dark roil of brown. Firm pour pushes a confident mocha cap 2+ fingers high. Solid retention. Slowly retreats to a damn respectable, "I'm staying here!" half an inch, milky head.
    Straight up glory in the nose. Good Morning, French toast! Maple syrup hitting crispy edged, slightly caramelized, cinnamon-heavy battered French toast. A light hint of vanilla, some cocoa notes, caramel and the smoothest roast, all waft from the glass. Rarely have I beheld such a spot on aroma, that was also soon tempting.
    Taste follows faithfully. Although, I dare say it's damn near impossible to follow that nose. The cinnamon is present but tame. The maple definitely stays along for the whole ride, but is not cloying. Hints of vanilla come through and tame the roast notes that peek in just a tad. Sweet notes that make an appearance in the background of the maple syrup are caramel, toffee, and dark chocolate. The vanilla comes through at the end as well, almost gives it a drying out note, in the direction of metallic.
    Mouthfeel is full and creamy. Very subtle, almost absent alcohol heat adds a nice extra. Carbonation is light.
    Overall, I would love this on a regular basis. Here is where I am reticent to make any suggestions on such a fine beer. But, I love the nose almost as much as my kids, and if the flavor could follow just a tad more faithfully with lighter vanilla I MIGHT like it a smidge more. Having said that (humbly), I LOVE this one.

    Must be on a NY beer tangent for the moment...and, damn, if this isn't one fine cream stout...



    I'm not purposely avoiding IPAs today, but pilsners, stouts, and Oktoberfest lagers just seem like the way to go...

    This particular stout is rich, creamy, and definitely delivering a coconut note to things.

    Boulevard Jamaican Rum Barrel-aged Imperial Stout, 14.5%, 18 IBU. Pours black with no head. Nose is rum and coffee, taste follows, with a slight bitter close. Decent mouthfeel, overall excellent.

    Bracing myself for the Packer game...
