Interesting, but would be so much better without the abundance of lactose creating a cloy, syrupy back end. Nice notes of chocolate, cherry cola, roast, and mocha, with hints of whiskey and oak meandering on the periphery, but the finish grows much too sweet, with a sticky, lingering lactose presence killing the back end. I'd love to try a non-diabetes-inducing version of this pint.
