Magnum shared with membership group+ at Camp Tasting Finale! Opaque black with decent head and fair retention, nice viscosity, light lacing. Aroma is strong Reese's Pieces (including hard shell), marshmallow. Taste is strong Reese's Pieces, chocolate, marshmallow, alcohol twang in background. Thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Elements are here but a bit sweet, slight alcohol twang detracts. Need a few ounces--not a Magnum. Hopefully it makes its way into a barrel at some point.
