This one has been catching my eye at the store for a while now. Finally got around to picking up a bottle of it. Not entirely sure of what to expect. It pours an opaque black with about a finger of dark brown head. Aroma isn't too powerful on this one, but definitely getting some coffee roast and chocolate notes. There's a cream and vanilla quality to it as well. Getting some burnt caramel and maybe just a hint of charcoal/smoke. Little woody, too.
This one definitely has an interesting flavor profile. It has that dry, roast character of a stout, but it is mostly washed away and masked by a sweet, creamy caramel shell. Has a little bit of a burnt bitterness. Finished rather dry. Full body, silky smooth, and easy to drink.
I'm liking this one. Might not be something I'll run out to buy again, but it's definitely one that I'll remember well and recommend to the right people.
