yjb (108), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Feb 24, 2008 Something about a suggestive food name really draws me in and puts the flavors in my head. Nutty vanilla with a little roast to back it up. A very nice drink, which I enjoyed at the michigan winter beerfest 08.
Tmoney99 (3398), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Mar 15, 2008 MBG Winter Fest 2008. Poured black color with an average frothy brown head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted coffee and sweet chocolate aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium coffee sweet dark fruit flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. BBB63 (3671), La Porte, Indiana, USA Feb 25, 2008 2008 MBG Winter Fest: Nearly opaque with a creamy tan head and excellent lace. The aroma is coffee, creme brule, chocolate and vanilla, doughy and bready malt, raisin and prune esters. The taste has a big coffee character supported by chocolate, charred malt, and grassy bitters. Some fruit and star anise found as well. The mouth feel is lively and refreshing with a dry chalky finish. Yep, it is a dessert stout indeed, yummy!
