What the brewers say
“Cocoa nibs and fresh vanilla beans along with flaked oats for body make this a big rich dessert stout.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Heavy milk chocolate. Light sherry aroma gives it a touch of old-ale character. Rich spicy chocolate sweetness with a strong roast impression. Rich dark fruit with cherries and fruit leather, decent warming alcohol character.”
Flavor: “Intense chocolate and caramel sweetness with a soft, mellow finish despite the strong roast character. The alcohol adds really nice warmth and spiciness throughout and cuts the overall impression of sweetness.”
Overall: “The slight harshness of the roast accentuates the salt on the finish. Order a pint or two if it is on the menu.”
