Deep dark brown coloured body with a very fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, nuts, earth, light anise, fennel and a touch of cream and lactose. Medium-bodied; Assertive nuts, oatmeal, grain and toasted malt with some pitted fruits, raisins and figs all noticeable, but the deep spices show through all of that with the anise and fennel by far the strongest, all ending with a pungent and deep lactose and cream note. Aftertaste is nice and complex, yet very easy-drinking with a bunch of lactose, cream, roasted malt, oatmeal, grain and especially sweet flavours that show nicely and balance things off without any bitterness - the pitted fruits and raisin flavour hows very strong throughout. Overall, a nice and robust sweet stout with a ton of flavours, but still somehow easy-drinking-ish and showing a lot of flavours. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased a few hours ago from Hy-Vee in Lincoln, Nebraska on 20-January-2020 for US$1,67 sampled a few hours later in my hotel room here in Lincoln, Nebraska on 20-January-2020.

Draft. A- Caramel, slightly boozy, mild fruits. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Caramel, animal crackers, subtle fig, slightly sweet. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Interesting. I loved the Port barrel stout and this was certainly good but there wasn't as much of a dark fruit and tannic wine flavor that I expected to find.
