UPDATED: DEC 20, 2020 Oily black pour, little to no head. Rich full aroma of deep molasses, dark chocolate, dusty cocoa, hint of sweet maple syrup. Soft carbonation, mouthfeel slightly oily, finishes dry. Bold flavor of bitter chocolate, dark fruits like cranberry and currant, syrupy vanilla and caramel right at the end. Robust dessert stout with decent complexity.

Aroma has dark grains and chocolate up front with a hint of caramel, licorice and roast supporting. Flavor has more salted caramel and a bit of booze with dark grains, roasted malts and chocolate supporting.
