Shared at the October 2024 PS tasting, 10/12/24. Black, medium brown head, average retention. Aroma of mild chocolate, mild coffee. Taste is roast, milk chocolate, oats. Not much barrel character.
Lovely in their style, clearly their american yeast and house taste. Not oatmeal just a nice stout. BeerTemple ams

Draft/Fest. A- Cocoa, roasty. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, brown head. T- Coffee, cocoa, nutty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Surprisingly one dimensional in my opinion. Really expected some more flavors to come through. But I also felt Velvet Merlin was a bit underwhelming.

Bottle from Weihenweizen: pours black with beige head. Aroma is dark fruit, chocolate, hints of coffee. Taste is smooth, lightly sweet. Given the comparative low abv it is definitely on the lighter end. Tasty.

Creamy tan head stayed on a dark brown body. Malt, bourbon & raisin aroma. Medium to full, soft & fluffy with a cloying back. Liquorice, malt, vanilla, cereal, coffee, chocolate & raisin tastes. Cracking beer.

35,5 cl bottle @ home Blind tasting containing 2017, 2018 and 2019. My guess on this was 2017 due to this being somewhat bland. Aroma has nuts,licorice and hayish malt. Flavour has grainy malt, licorice, cereal and granola. Sweetish but pleasant. Bourbon is not present at all. 7-4-7-4-37
