Can, best before March 2023, drunk 2/12/23. That seems like a ridiculous BB date, but most are, I suppose. Inky, somewhat viscous, unclear black. Initial tan head fades immediately to nothing. Nose is definitely well-spiced, with nutmeg and cinnamon quite prominent. Dark chocolate, treacle and oily roast behind concentrate the malty stout character and there's some barrel character adding more spice and richer, savory whiskey notes, pleasantly. Not boozey, not sugary, balanced and rich other than the somewhat overly nutmeg/cinnamony character. Thick and viscous, though short of being too sweet. Richly malty with good whiskey character adding spice and savory strength. Soft and malty with pleasing acidity and balance, but we do have to talk about the nutmeg. I get it's a holiday spiced beer and as such they wanted the nutmeg to come through, but it's still just too much, in my opinion. If I'd waited another 3-6 months, this would have been insane. As is, great barrel character, pleasing sticky, viscous, malty texture and good balance with little/no alcohol.
