On tap at the brewery. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is roasted malt,whiskey, vanilla, wood. Thick body, chewy roast, dark chocolate, wood, vanilla, boozy finish, enjoyed this.
Batch 2 bottle shared for Blind Stout Share. Pours a deep brown to black with almost no head. Very fruit driven nose with milk chocolate next to orange and plum. Some light smoke comes out as it warms. Oak on the palate with more chocolate and milk. Like a chocolate covered orange. Sweet and fruity finish that lingers. ABV hidden well.

Bottle from trade. Pours black with very brief head. Deep bitter chocolate, tobacco, toasted grains, wee bit candi sugar. Some alcohol heat. Quite old school heavy hitter. Intense.
Lovely stout. Post #BCBF2018 check in

Thanks Walt for sharing the bottle! Taster showing black with no head. The nose shows a strong alcoholic heat with moderately intense notes of molasses and brownies. The palate is thick and barely carbonated. Moderately sweet with moderately intense flavors of light raisin, smoke, and sugar cane.
Thanks! Sampled draft @ Billie’s Beer Festival 2018. Day 2. Black syrup. Nose is alcoholic bourbon, sugar, sweet pastry, candy with big walnut. Taste is sweet alcoholic boozy, pleasant bit too hot but with good sugar, bourbon pastry, candy and dark nuts. Thick, tasty stuff.
