Thanks Ian.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light speckled spider web lacing sticking to the sides of the glass.
The smell was super sweet chocolate in a dry sort of way. Light vanilla enters in after a minute of warming.
The taste was a really nice blend of the previously mentioned sweet flavors and then letting a roastiness come in nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but nothing overbearing. The aftertaste had a long sweet chocolate vanilla which lead to a dry sweet chocolate finish.
Overall, this was a really nice sweet stout that made a fantastic dessert by itself.
