750ml bottle thanks to bottle. It pours oily black with some floating chunks (pecans?) and a khaki head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, nutty, pecan pie, rich chocolate, gateaux, vanilla, cake frosting, toasted coconut and syrup. The taste is slick, oily, sticky, rich roasted malt, charred notes, burnt toast, praline, pecan pie, toffee, caramel, dark chocolate, chocolate cake, fruit cake, spice, umami, burnt toast and warming alcohol with a thick, sweet finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. A bit thick and sweet, but fun anyhow.
