Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition

Nose is sweet with a faint chocolate and fruit flavor. Slight smoke in tastes, very mild and smooth, but a quick finish.

Good flavor but not as good as the IPA edition

Nose: Much more lively than you would think, considering this is only 80 proof. Cocoa, leather. Dusty books. Slightly floral - probably from the hops. Classic Jamo punching through with buttery shortbread, citrus, and herbal notes, but overall more filled out. Even getting some darker base notes for everything else to stand on. Palate: Milk chocolate. Cultured butter. Orange blossom, honeysuckle, vanilla. A little tannin and oak coming through. Mint, orange zest, sweet basil. Again, presenting as if it were a higher proof while still incredibly easy to drink. Mouthfeel is medium-light. Finish is medium-short, leading off with bitter chocolate, orange, mint, and fresh cut grass. The high and low palate melt away with hints of toasted marshmallow, nutmeg, and graham crackers showing through. Eventually you're left with a bitter milk chocolate character. Other notes: Though maybe not as focused as I would've hoped, this shows what a few months of a seasoned barrel can do. Well executed.

Smooth, vanilla and cream, a little hoppy and a lot of oak. Finish is oak and slight vanilla
