Sample at the Shelton Festival. Pours black, with a big, creamy, tan head. The aroma is chocolate, celery, banana peppers, syrup, and walnuts. Sweet and chalky, with a light bitterness. Heavy body, with a creamy mouthfeel. The spice doesn't distract, but adds to a solid stout.

Appearance is black, with a small beige foamy head which clings a bit. Aroma- dark rum, booze, Christmas pudding, vanilla, oak, whisky, dark malt, liquorice, chocolate cake. Lovely aroma. Taste- burnt, charred malt, bitter dark chocolate milkshake, boozy oaky woodiness, coffee, dark chocolate cake, burnt fruitcake hints. Silky mouthfeel. Barrel-heavy, but nice.
