Bottle thanks to Zach. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is roasted malt, vanilla, brownie. Slick body, fudge, cocoa, vanilla, roast, boozy finish, enjoyed this.
Bottle shared at Blind Stout Share. Pours a deep brown to black with a small beige head that dissipates. Lots of dark chocolate in the nose with oak, pepper and whisky as it warms up. More chocolate on the palate. Great balance with more oak with faint prune underneath as it warms. Just really smooth and balanced with the alcohol hidden well.
