16 ounce can from Total Wine & More in South Bay. Opaque jet black pour. Dark brown head dissipates quite fast, leaving a small tan ring. Interesting aroma of dark roasted malt and dark chocolate. Flavor is intensely sweet with notes of bittersweet chocolate, chocolate wafer cookies and sweet cream. Quite boozy, as well.There is an underlying sweet funkiness that is hard to describe. Perhaps some scorched sugar? Highly carbonated, which is quite unusual for the style. Some earthy, burnt wood notes on the backend.

Undated can, drunk 3/18/22. Ebony with a small, tan head showing low retention. Smells of rich fudge, vanilla, cocoa and syrupy-sweet chocolate. Some light acidity on the end attempts to balance. In the mouth it's more or less punishingly sweet. There is some reasonable acidity and dark chocolate-like character but it just continues to get sweeter and sweeter with a ton of fudge as it warms and the glass continues. I will say, I may be overrating sweet stouts like these from Tree House and such, while panning this one because of its lack of a pedigree, but I do think this one is particularly too sweet, even more so than the double shot and triple shot series (Quad shots actually seem more balanced). A bit boozey, as well.

Five Boro Craft Beer Fest: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is cookies, chocolate, roast. Taste is sweet, oreos, low bitterness, chocolate. Solid.
