Dark brown. No head. Ok, that is a really nice aroma - toasty coffee, light vanilla and cacao for accent, along with dark sugars. On the palate, lots of sugars, some sweet chocolate, and the coffee slides in late with toastiness but there's also a lot of vanilla in there as well. It's not subtle in any of this. Finishes with a lot of coffee. Just weird that there's no real barrel character here.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 08, 2025.
Aroma is cacao nibs and chocolate forward with lighter roast and coffee notes. Lighter toffee and caramel notes. Light coconut and vanilla notes. Medium alcohol notes with lighter notes of bourbon and faint oak notes.
Pours jet black with a small, thick, dark mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges and disappears. No lacing and sheets for legs.
Flavor is rather sweet with lots of chocolate and cacao notes. Moderate roast notes with lighter toffee and caramel. Fairly bitter with medium alcohol notes. Moderate coffee notes. Medium light coconut and light vanilla notes. Light bourbon and faint oak notes.
Mouthfeel is full bodied with low carbonation. Low astringency and medium alcohol notes.
Overall, a solid BA pastry stout. Lots of cacao nibs and coffee notes. The coconut and vanilla are light but they show up in the flavor a bit more than in the aroma.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a tiny white head. Aroma is super complex, with lots of deep roasted malt, rich coffee, a little vanilla, a touch of cocoa, and gentle bourbon barrels in the back. Flavour reveals more of the coconut upfront, deep coffee, dark sugars, soft bourbon, and vanilla. Deep malty goodness, with plenty of deep coffee, dark sugars, and vanilla on the finish. Excellent.
