3.83/5 rDev -10.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 2.5

Out of the bottle into a snifter.

Appearance: Murky and intimidating. Dark like midnight, gothic dark, evil dark. Beautiful, thick, billowy head.

Smell: Chocolate. Chocolate eclairs, chocolate fondant, chocolate pastry cream. Anything that is chocolate+creamy+sweet. Espresso notes are light, like someone is brewing a stovetop cafe downstairs. Roasty, big and in your face. Did I mention chocolate and tons of it.

Taste: Sweet chocolate cream, big malts and espresso on the finish. The chocolate notes are huge, almost to huge. I feel like I just sucked the filling out of a Krispy Kreme chocolate filled.

Mouthfeel: Thick and full. Like drinking hershey syrup. Big on the start, big on the finish. Leaves a chocolate coating on the mouth that is there until you brush your teeth. Viscous and thick, period.

Drinkability: Ones enough. Its so big and in your face that 4oz's is plenty IMO. more of a digestivo that a beer.

Overall: Great nose and presentation but a little to unbalanced and thick. I've never tasted this much sweet chocolate in a beer and never thought a brew could have so much cocoa character but the novelty wears of quick and gets a little trying.

bottle into tulip

appearance: solid black with 1 finger tan head

smell: loads of chocolate, milky chocolate, roasted malt, minty chocolate, amazing smell

taste: huge milk chocolate flavors, not very bitter, just milky creamy chocolatey goodness. Some mint chocolate comes through in the aftertaste, with notes of vanilla and very subtle espresso flavors balanced in.

mouthfeel: so thick and full bodied you may think you're drinking a milkshake....exceptional

overall: I will have to do a blind test with a Stone IRS to determine my favorite, but this is probably equal. Amazing milk chocolate flavors, this is easily the most chocolate dominant stout i've had, luckily Souther Tier is literally everywhere so I will be buying this many, many times again.
