Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of huge chocolate and fudge notes with some floral coffee notes with some vanilla and bourbon notes with light lactose notes. Taste is also a mix of huge chocolate and fudge notes with some floral coffee notes and some vanilla and bourbon with some sweet lactose notes offsetting any rough edges. Body is full with creamy texture and good carbonation and no real warming alcohol notes are perceptible. Nice coffee/bourbon stout with a nice creamy feel and perfect chocolate/fudge notes.
