Draft at Orange & Brew. More of a baseline brown than black. Thin scrum of foam moving to the edges. It has a clean malty smell with just an edge of rye whiskey barrel. A much brighter taste than, say, a Bourbon County Stout. But there's the rye and vanilla, and a bit of strawberry on the palate. Sticky on the roof of the mouth. And now, there's kind of a Tootsie Roll impression, and the burn of a hot rye whiskey settling in. Strawberry note finally asserts itself, but not too much. Strong, yet then I think of it being milky and smooth.
