330n ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with huge tan head. Aromas of chocolate covered berries, vanilla, creamy coffee and slick roasted malts. Flavors of chocolate syrup, red berries, vanilla and oily roasted malt. Hot finish. Overall quite nice for a big Pastry Stout.

Black with a, small, very dark brown head. Big blackberry notes with juicy sweet sherry, light oak, some chocolate, and a hint of sour berry notes. Full, oily body. Finishing lingering tart berries, sweet notes, and whipped cream. Not a lot of stout notes but it is a nice base for the other bits of the beer. Dig it.
