16.9 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Black body with quick fading tan ring of head. Aroma is dominated by bourbon up front followed by some dark chocolate, coffee, caramel. Taste has dark chocolate, bourbon, oak, roasted coffee, caramel, little bit of vanilla and coconut sweetness towards the end. Full body. Tasty, nicely balanced bourbon barrel espresso stout.

It's so refreshing to have a Commonwealth stout without banana for once. Barrel, coffee. Still not sure I like this as much as their IPAs and other beers. But it's still very good for a pastry. It gives me hope that they can brew banana-less stouts. Bittersweet finish with chocolate and caramel. Snally.

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a pitch black color, motor oil smooth black color with a wispy, brown head. Aroma was big cocoa, milk chocolate, coffee, toffee and caramel. Flavor was big candy bar - coconut, vanilla and espresso. Super smooth.
