Pours dark as night, with a thick tan creamy head. Lacing everywhere. Textbook definition of how a big stout should look. Although RB says this isn’t a stout? Whatever. Aroma is sweet rich chocolate, roasted coffee, watermelon, some unexpected bourbon. Flavor is again representative of a stout: chocolate, vanilla cake, smoked chicken, hazelnut, toffee, coffee. Smooth, watery on the swallow, and a pleasant chalky finish. Very good.
