Fantastically & fabulously delicious! So, so smooth. Wow. Each taste of this nectar of the gods brings a little shiver of disbelief a beer can taste this good.

Gave it an extra .25 cause it’s probably Bit too warm. Temp leaves it a bit sticky. Flavor balance is great though: vanilla and sweetness from (I assume) lactose evened our by darker malt bitterness. Perhaps a bit undercarbonated, adding to the sticky.

Huge vanilla aroma, flavors of chocolate and vanilla bean, some dark chocolate and coffee bitterness to balance the sweetness. Impressive.

Excellent if you’re in the mood for a huge stout. Remarkably smooth for the ABV. Nice flavors, well balanced, nothing overwhelming other than the overall boldness. Biggest con for me is the sweetness level.

Well I can't very well allow its average to go down. I know it seems like I'm rating high, but reality is new checkins for me generally are beers I seek out lol

I’ve tried a few “shake” beers from multiple different breweries and most were too sweet to get through more than a few sips of. This one is different with a strong upfront coffee flavor and the sweet vanilla following that up.

Vanilla is more natural than sweet. Smooth but a bit of bitterness on the end. Silky front. Spicy back.
