November 2008 bottling
15%abv, 12oz bottle
Calling this simply "Stout" is like calling the ocean "a bit moist" -- this beer is huge.
Appearance is solid black with a pleasant thick brown head that lingers nicely.
Aroma is alcohol, vanilla and toffee.
Flavor is sweet, but not overly so. Big alcohol flavors with lots of roast malt and pleasant toffee and coffee notes.
Mouthfeel is very thick. The finish is neither dry nor sweet, it's mostly alcohol heat.
Normally these over-the-top beers aren't my favorite, but this one is actually quite enjoyable.
