750 ml bottle thanks Adam. Aroma of dark malt, old coffee, soy sauce. The flavor follows with the addition of blackberry. Mouthfeel is still. Haven’t had many still stouts. Not overly sweet. Interesting.

750mL 2022 bottle, batch 1, shared by Adam on 9/21/25.
Still. Dark, clear.
Smells rich and chocolatey with tasteful Bourbon adding spice and sweetness. Little/no oxidation is surprising. Not boozey. Complete lack of carbonation does limit the aroma somewhat.
Soft, flat, chocolatey with peanut, oily roast and light fudge and char lingering. Bourbon is light but evident with mild spice, mild sweetness, no aggressive notes. No alcohol, very minor oxidation. Soft and easygoing with strong attenuation. No syrup here.

Bottle pour shared by AdamChandler--thanks, Adam! at OT Camp tasting. Inky, opaque black with nice viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy roasted stout, mild fennel. Taste is strong earthy malt, chocolate. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, smooth carbonation and finish as taste.
