Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a fairly thick deep brown to black with a finger of brown foam that dissipates. Salted caramel aromas with melted chocolate, espresso and dark malt aromas. Fairly thick and viscous on the palate at first, but does thin up a bit on the finish. Loads of salted caramel, light saline umami notes, toasted cacao nib and dark coffee notes on the finish. Booze is hidden fairly well, but slightly warming on the finish. Salted caramel really comes though. Nice and dry stout.
