Milk Stout aged in a Rye Whiskey Barrel from WhistlePig distillery. Rounded chocolate / espresso notes. Full bodied with rye spice and an ultra-smooth finish. Slow Numbers is the same base we use for Numerology coffee milk stout, sent to age in barrels prior the addition of cold brew coffee.

Draught at the brewery, 12/12/21. Undetermined clarity, dark mahogany with deep, cherry tints and a small, tan head that fades quickly. Lovely, barrel-forward, but not overdone nose is full of dark fruit, espresso, strong raisin and a good mix of burnt caramel and molasses. No alcohol, lactose or flaw. In the mouth it's surprisingly light, which may be my only complaint; it's just a bit lighter than I'd prefer for its size. But there's plentiful milk chocolate, plum, prune, raisin and molasses to go around with enjoyable but not overdone barrel notes of spice and such. It's soft and dry, but just a touch watery. Still, it's not boozy nor does it have any flaw.
