This poured with more co2 than I’d expect. Dark brown, medium head. Sweet, but the brandy barrel cuts it with a fair bit of acidity. This creates the impression of a fruity sourish stout… not 100% sure that was the idea. It’s not bad but it needs more richness and in this case I’m thinking the treatment is messing that up a bit.

On tap at Abnormal, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out rich brandy barrels, followed by gentle coconut and vanilla. Flavour is rich and complex, with an interesting mix of brandy barrels upfront, followed by vanilla and light coconut. Rich, luxurious, and complex. Wonderful barrel treatment of this lovely beer.
