A deep dark stout with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with loads of rum barrel, licorice, vanilla, alcohol warmth, woody notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with light coffee notes, light rum barrel notes, woody notes, loads of alcohol warmth, pleasant and warming. On tap at brewpub.

Poured into a snifter, the pour was thick jet black. Basically, poured like motor oil. The color was the same with a nice looking finger’s worth of eggshell white foamy head. Mild lace was left.
The aroma had the roasty boldness of Swamp Donkey with some milk and dark chocolate assisting in the balance. Oak barrel woodiness was faint in the background.
The flavor yielded to the roast and sweet of Swamp Donkey. The aftertaste was full of the chocolate and the roast, once again, barrel is extremely faint. Some booziness in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sipping quality about it. Mild carbonation. ABV felt appropriate as defined by the brewer.
Overall, what this brewery does well. Now if they can start helping some of the breweries in Vermont get up to speed for this style.
