Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is definitely malt forward with lots of chocolate and roast notes. Lighter dark caramel and toffee notes with hints of burnt sugar and molasses. Medium light oak notes with hints of ash. Light bourbon and alcohol notes. Pours jet black with a small, moderately thin mocha head that recedes quickly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. No lacing and long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with lots of dark chocolate and roast notes. Lighter dark caramel and toffee notes with some molasses and dark sugar. Hints of tobacco and ash with a bit of raisin. Moderate bitterness and medium light alcohol notes. Light bourbon and oak notes. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, I'm not sure what distinguishes this from a stout but is a great beer. Lots of malt character with decent barrel character. Alcohol is well hidden.
