2022 Vintage drank in 2024. 10000th rate! Lots of syrupy flavor, really sweet, but somewhat balanced by the barrel. Tasty, but too sweet for me, like eating an extra sugary piece of chocolate cake. Well done for the style, but sort of choresome to drink a whole glass. Best split between 3 or so people I'd say.

Solo cup showing dark brown with sparse latte colored foam.

The nose shows moderately intense notes of vanilla.

The palate is lightly carbonated and light bodied. Light vanilla and mildly sweet that transitions to an adzuki mid palate followed by a mild bitterness.

500ml bottle. 2022 opened in 2024. Rather awesome Milk Stout. Massive chocolate tone. Barrel gives it some depth but the big, sweet adjuncts still dominate. Malted Milk ball flavor starts coming through more and more. Everything is right on, just a little pastrified for me.
