Much more carbonated than I like this stout poured a bubbly thin brown head. Deep black coloring the bubbles rose quickly through the darkness and burst loudly at the top.

The scent is subtle but has nice variation. Touch of vanilla and coconut, like many barrel aged stouts, there's evident chocolate malts and a touch of graham cracker.

The taste is of strong roasted malts, slightly burnt. There's a sweet vanilla middle that is fleeting and a hint of tinny alcohol at the end.

The mouthfeel is slightly thick and viscus, with a carbonated finish. This lends to my overall feelings in that I really enjoyed it but found the immense carbonation off-putting. I allowed it to "air out" like a wine and it behaved much better. Very strange.
