The judges loved the fun Stout flavors with notes of coffee and chocolate.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium mahogany color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of black tea, nutmeg, charred oak, and dark chocolate with supporting notes of marzipan, vanilla bean, pecan, and coffee. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a baking spices-driven core with flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruits, black pepper, and coffee. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and ideally balanced with a rich texture.
