Draft @ Glacier. Black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, coconut and vanilla. Taste is of semi-sweet chocolate, toffee, more coconut and vanilla oak flavors and light alcohol. Full body with mild carbonation and a lush, velvety, awesomely smooth mouth feel. I really like this beer, the oak adds so much flavor and really is a wonderful addition to an already great beer. Glacier knows how to barrel age some beers, that is for sure.
