Bottle split at Parch, thanks to the Andy - Nimbleprop, 14/06/19. Light black with a decent tan cap. Nose is big roast, charr, coffee grinds, mellow barell, black peppery spice ... great aroma. Taste comprises dried fruits, decent coffee bite but not the wow of the nose, cocoa powder, mellow bourbon rip, light spice, toffee melt. Medium plus body, fine carbonation, drying close with a light balanced boost. Solid coffee gear.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 1/18/2019. Pours clear very dark ruby red/purple/brown color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of vanilla, cream, molasses, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, raspberries, and light-moderate lactose/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of vanilla, cream, molasses, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, floral, woody, grassy, spicy, roast, char bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy/tart/tangy black raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark/brown bread/crust, vanilla, cream, molasses, smoke, charcoal, herbal, wood, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, raspberries, and light-moderate lactose/earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet, and tart/tangy fruit balance; with nice cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness and fruit tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, fairly sticky/chalky, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an excellent fruited milk stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, raspberries, and light-moderate lactose/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/tart/drying finish, great soft feel. Awesome balance of rich malts, authentic raspberries, and cocoa flavors; with balancing earthy hops against sweetness. Solid lactose presence, was expecting a bit more for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Not overwhelming on fruit, perfectly blended and complementing to the base style.
