12oz can. A pretty solid Coffee Stout, the oak is rather mild, but adds some nice depth too I suppose. Really solid example of the style, depth without being gimmicky. Enjoyable.

Not a bad stout, just not up to the label's promise, offering moderate notes of coffee and chocolate accented by a slight dark fruit acidity and modest vanilla- and oak-tinged sweetness on the back end. Not sure where the whiskey went--never would've guessed this pint was aged on Tullamore D.E.W.--and the watery texture gives a disappointing thinness to the flavors. Pours a dark, dark brown with a weak beige head and mild lacing. Whiskey on the nose--found it!--makes the aroma the beer's strongest point. Otherwise a forgettable pint.

Sample at Daily Growler UA. Brown-black color with a medium creamy beige head that recedes gradually to a dense film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and mild coffee. Medium body with flavors of roasted coffee, chocolate malt, coffee and a bit of booze. The finish is roasty with a malt and coffee aftertaste. Above average overall.

Tap at the Davis Graduate. Pours dark brown with a creamy beige head. Spicy chocolate aroma. Med+ body. Flavor is spicy chocolate- seems chili- but there’s no capsaicin. Might be earthy cacao. Not at all nutty for me. One of the better browns I’ve had recently.

Draft. A- Whisky, chocolate, coffee, oak. A- Black color, dark liquid, tan head. T- Whisky, oak, cocoa, subtle coffee. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Not too shabby from a brewery I usually don’t like. The whisky aging is definitely present but not too boozy. The base stout is decent too. Nice amounts of coffee and chocolate.
