Can (4/17/25) from Oliver's Beverage, Albany. Opaque dark brown, nice viscosity, light sparkle, ephemeral head, no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy malt stout, wood, mild spice (cinnamon?) and faint chocolate. Taste follows aroma with late bitter coffee as well. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Thick, rich base stout and huge contribution of wood from the barrel (but strangely, not Tequila), lighter coffee and chocolate. Nice mellow sipper.
