3$can from chalet. Nose is sweet and malt. Looks like a rootbeer with chunks of something floating around in the bottom.Nice head that fades. First taste impression is that its quite thin for a stout. Also, its not as cloying as most of those stupid ass pastry bombs. I'm really surprised, it must be one of the more tolerable pastries I've had lately. It even has a touch of smoke in there as well. Mind you, I'm not loving this stuff, its just a little more balanced compared to others in the style. Yea, in the middle, it is a little cloying but not bad and I think I'm picking up some cocoa in there. Yea, its really something seeing these chunks, of what I believe to be cookie, floating around in there. Lots on the bottom of the can, weird. On the finish, I do seem to be getting just a tad of orange in there. Not as good as Penn Brewery Sarris Peanut Butter Meltaway, Croakers Dismembered Dough Boy, Brew 32 #73 St. Nicklaus Stout or Bullseye Funk Mob Coffee Stout. Buts OK and better than the average pasty bullshit. I'd say its on par with Firestone Mocha Dolce Stout.

Murky dark brown with an enormous foamy beige head that left good lacing. Sweetish with toasty malt, cocoa and vanilla. Long finish. A bit thin.
