500mL bottle drunk 12/23/25, as pictured.
Lots of barrel and it's a good mix of both bourbon and apple brandy. Not too sweet, with a good deal of fudge and slight dark chocolate accents. Is there a touch of unrefined alcohol here? Perhaps, but that's about the only thing negative I can say about the nose. Otherwise, there's a great mix of fudge, char, roast and the adjuncts aren't remotely overdone. Not getting much, if any, lactose either.
Sweet, fudgey chocolate and peanut (ok, pistachio) with an apple brandy undercurrent and moderate bourbon spice. Rich, chewy, malty texture but reasonable dryness on the finish which is full of chocolate-cherry-vanilla and long caramel/toffee. I get a bit turned off by too much coconut in stouts, but it's really tasteful here. Only a slight aspect. Not boozey/sharp in flavor. But the bourbon and apple brandy are certainly stiff. And it's just a bit too sweet overall, after a handful of sips.
