On draft @Jaxon Beer Garden. Shiny black pour with a slight amber brown silhouette. Very sugary, vanilla & whiskey nose, more so vanilla. Toasty vanilla, sharp, rich, minerally, a little cola. Ashy malt. Sticky finish, quite boozy. Not bad.

355ml bottle. Quasi black colour with small to average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, tan head. Chocolately and caramel malty aroma, notes of dark caramel, chocolate, some cocoa and milk sugar, whiffs of maple sirup and peanut, salted caramel. Taste is sweet-ish and spicy, dark and caramel malty, notes of dark caramel, a touch of burnt caramel, treacle, maple sirup, salted peanuts, light fruity untertones; minimally pungent, bitter hoppy finish. Slightly creamy texture, dry palate, fine, prickly carbonation. Rather aggressive, dry, pungent - OK, not more.

On tap at Flying Saucer, DFW. Black with small tan head. Chocolate, bit roasted, lactic, caramel, sweet, just a bit harsh in finish. Not that easy to drink. Full bodied.

On tap at Flying Saucer Draught Emporium - DFW Airport, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is full of rich dark and milk chocolate, some lactose, and caramel. Flavour is sweet but robust, with lots of roasted malt, plenty of lactose, some caramel, and a smidgeon of hoppiness to back. It's definitely sweet, but somehow the roast reins the sweetness in. Not the most complex or elegant impie stout out there, but it's built very well. Great stuff.

Virtually black with a frothy, beige head. Aroma of a chocolate shake and licorice with roasted grains underneath. Taste is bittersweet with the bitterness taking over the finish. Medium to full-bodied, mild carbonation. Not much depth but no off-notes either. Not bad.
