Sharing a Straight to Ale stout. Brings back memories of our trip to the brewery. Starts with what appears to be a very heavy texture, almost no head. Aroma of dark chocolate and alcohol. Texture is full-bodied but not as heavy as expected. Very creamy and smooth. Flavor is outstanding. Swiss dark milk chocolate with strong overtones of amaretto followed by a rich sweet coffee. Faint traces of vanilla in the background. All this is followed by a modest coffee bitterness in the finish. Excellent beer.
