Bottle thanks to Bill. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is a strong roasted malt, oak, vanilla. Medium body, sweet vanilla, light roast, wood, booze, and light dry finish. Very good.

Bottle with many thanks to americanbrew. Pours with a very deep, viscous and dark, black body with a tan head that lasts. Good lace and light legs. Aromas are of vanilla, cocoa, roast, earthy, light pine, spruce, brown sugar, and some anise/licorice. Flavors are of brown sugar, anise and plums up front, a bit of dusty and chalky cocoa mid palate, fruity and jammy with dark fruits and lingering esters towards the finish. Earthy and pine like as well. Smooth, creamy mouth, light carbonation and alcohol with a fuller body. Maybe the spruce has faded, but his is pretty tasty as is.

22oz bottle. Deep opaque black with a beige head. Really nice Stout, big, but doesn’t come off imperial. Quite unique. Big chocolate tones, rich cocoa peanut butter action. Very mellow and subdued, light smoky coffee tones. I don’t get much spruce, the thick specialty malts sort of cover it up. Solid Stout, quite well done.
